The Pittsburgh Steelers star wideout discussed his coach's impact since entering the NFL.
PITTSBURGH -- Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens is in the middle of controversy this season, but even with Mike Tomlin having to discuss behavioral concerns for the star wideout, Pickens has plenty of good to say about his head coach.
"He's probably one of, if not the greatest, coach I have ever been around," Pickens said. "Or in the NFL, in my eyes. Just because of his mentality and how the way he thinks of things. You guys probably hear all the phrases all the time, but those are real true phrases that uphold to life.
To no surprise, some of that impact comes in the form of Tomlinisms. There are many to choose from, but one stands tall for Pickens, as it came his first season, and has stuck ever since. After a frustrating streak of games with the Steelers losing back to back games to the Indianapolis Colts and Dallas Cowboys, it is quite possible that Pickens has had to keep what Tomlin taught him in mind as he moves through the season.
