Lions star Jameson Williams isn\u2019t the only wide receiver whose social media activity has fans buzzing during NFL draft week.<\/p>\n
Steelers standout George Pickens unfollowed the team that drafted him 52nd overall three years ago, multiple outlets reported Wednesday, the same day NFL insider Jordan Schultz said the former Georgia product has been referenced in \u201ctrade discussions\u201d among multiple teams.<\/p>\n
Although the Steelers aren\u2019t said to be \u201cactively shopping\u201d Pickens, it appears \u201cconversations have taken place,\u201d per Schultz.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s been much speculation about Pickens\u2019 future in Pittsburgh as he has one year remaining on his rookie contract.<\/p>\n
Even with the splashy addition of former Seahawks receiver DK Metcalf this offseason, the team has remained steadfast that Pickens is part of their present and future.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re glad we have George and DK here. I think they\u2019re going to be exciting for everyone to watch,\u201d Steelers general manager Omar Khan said this week, according to Steelers Wire.<\/p>\n
Pickens, 24, had been following the Steelers\u2019 account as of March 9, according to Steelers Depot, but it is unclear when the apparent purge took place.<\/p>\n
The former second-round pick is coming off a rocky season in Pittsburgh, where he was at the center of several controversies.<\/p>\n
Pickens showed up late to the Steelers\u2019 Christmas Day loss to the Chiefs, and he got into it with fans during the team\u2019s regular-season finale against the Bengals in January.<\/p>\n
Steelers coach Mike Tomlin also implored Pickens to \u201cgrow up\u201d after he drew two unsportsmanlike conduct penalties against Cincinnati earlier in the year.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s just gotta grow up, man,\u201d Tomlin said in December. \u201cIt\u2019s an emotional game. These divisional games are big. He\u2019s got a target on his back because he\u2019s George. He understands that. But he\u2019s gotta grow up, and he\u2019s gotta grow up in a hurry.\u201d<\/p>\n
Pickens tallied 59 receptions for 900 yards and three touchdowns in 14 regular-season games last year.<\/p>\n
Pickens\u2019 curious social media activity comes after Williams, a 2022 first-round pick of the Lions, posted cryptic messages earlier this week following a report alleging he\u2019s on the trading block.<\/p>\n
It remains to be seen what the Steelers will do with pick No. 21 on Thursday when the 2025 NFL Draft gets underway.<\/p>\n
Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders \u2014 who has been heavily linked to Pittsburgh \u2014 has made it clear that whoever is tossing passes to Pickens and Metcalf will be one lucky QB.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
