Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens wasn't considered an option by multiple teams in the 2022 NFL draft, according to ESPN's Brooke Pryor. "At least one NFL team took him off their draft board after being turned off by his behavior during his predraft visit, according to a high-ranking team executive," Pryor reported Saturday.

The Steelers reportedly tried to trade George Pickens during the 2025 NFL Draft and were “laughed at" by other NFL teams.

The Pittsburgh Steelers made a move than a large portion of the fan base saw coming as the organization traded away wide receiver George Pickens. The deal was made with the Dallas Cowboys and Pittsburgh also sent a sixth-round pick in the 2027 NFL Draft to Dallas in exchange for a third-round pick in 2026 and a fifth-round selection in 2027.
