The Steelers drafted Pickens in the second round of the 2022 NFL draft out of Georgia. Pickens' talent was never in question but his maturity and work ethic were. The Steelers gave Pickens three seasons but he never seemed fully committed to playing in this offense.

Former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens appears to be thriving in his new home with the Dallas Cowboys, continuing to express his appreciation for the move, and his relief to be out of Pittsburgh.

The Dallas Cowboys receiver recently joined 105.3 The Fan (KRLD-FM), where he discussed his focus for the 2025 season and his connection with CeeDee Lamb. While Pickens is entering a contract year, the receiver doesn’t want to look past 2025 just yet.
