Pickens definitely has some screws loose, but dude was hell of a blocker at UGA.
He prolly hates being on that shite team with shite QBs.


Do Georgia fans get CNN "talking points"? This is the 3rd time the same exact refrain has been posted.

Watch Pickens and Dionte Johnson when it's not a pass play or play designed for them. The lack of effort is ridiculous.

I think Tomlin is a top 10 coach in the league but he's got a serious problem with these dudes and his shitty offense.

George Pickens is such a talent, but goddamn he's such a cancer.

Pickens has always been like this. It’s the reason why he wasn’t a top 20 pick. He has bottom 20 character.

would just chalk this up to playing on a shite team


They were 7-4 before they dropped 3 straight. And who knows, maybe they win one of those games if he would block. Either way, they still in the playoffs and he is a massive waste of talent at this point in his career.

I guess Pickens just showed how to score without anyone blocking downfield.

I’m not sure if you know this, but once you’re in the nfl you have what’s called a contract.

And that’s basically legal terms in which one gets paid for work that the employee and employer agree upon.

The good thing about the NFL is that they have contracts. Opt out? Don’t get paid.
Pickens opting out on the field is only hurting himself.

Do they get paid by the Football program in college? I don't believe so. Therefore, they are not contractually obligated to participate in any game or team event, unlike in the NFL.
