🏈 Former Steelers wide receiver Plaxico Burress doesn’t believe DK Metcalf is better than George Pickens.
“How this hurts the Pittsburgh Steelers, they didn’t get any better. I don’t believe, when it comes down to playing the position and playing the game of football, that DK Metcalf is a better wide receiver than George Pickens. I would not agree to that,” Burress said on FOX Sports Radio. “We know that George Pickens, when he’s playing and he’s focused, he’s one of the top five ball players at the position. There’s no dispute in that. There’s no doubt about it, but we got to get the young man focused so he can reach his full potential and become one of these elite wide receivers in all of football.”
