Steelers wide receiver George Pickens played the role of a blabbermouth ahead of his team’s fixture vs. the Jets this Sunday.
The Steelers are of particular interest heading into Week 7, given the new competition for the starting quarterback role with Russell Wilson now fit again.
Wilson had been sidelined with a calf injury from training camp but has fully recovered. Despite Justin Fields performing well and firing the team to a 4-2 record, his role is now under threat.
Head coach Mike Tomlin refused to name a starting QB when he spoke to reporters on Friday, looking to keep his cards close to the vest ahead of Pittsburgh’s next test. However, Pickens wasn’t as protective of the coach’s plans.
The wideout was asked whether Wilson was working harder as he’s in the running to start while speaking to the media.
“Yeah, getting on the same page after practice, throwing,” he replied, per Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com. “More than usual, because this is his first start.”
Mike Tomlin May Have A Few Words For George Pickens
Of course, this hardly comes as a surprise, but Tomlin might have a few words for his receiver after he gave the above away.
Maybe he will blame himself as he may not have told players to keep this information from reporters.
Meanwhile, Fields has admitted that he hasn’t quite done enough to cement himself as the team’s undisputed starter.
“I don’t think I played good enough if I’m being real with you,” the QB told reporters on Thursday. “If I’m being real with myself, if I did play well enough, I don’t think there would be any sort of (question) who should be playing who should not.”
Travis Kelce Used One Word To Describe His Whirlwind Relationship With Taylor Swift

Travis Kelce is proud to have girlfriend Taylor Swift by his side, and he doesn’t mind that the whole world is watching.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have been dating since at least September 2023 when she shocked everybody by showing up to Arrowhead Stadium. The move came months after Kelce first publicly expressed interest in Swift, after attending one of her concerts and failing to send a friendship bracelet to her with his number on it.
Travis Kelce knows just how obsessed the world is with his relationship.
“I’m very aware,” Kelce said when asked whether he understands the “impact” his romance with Taylor Swift was having on the NFL.
“Obviously, this is mostly because Taylor’s in my life now and we got her [to be] part of Chiefs Kingdom,” he explained in a resurfaced interview with sports reporter Laura Okmin ahead of the Super Bowl.
“And sure enough, that brought an entire entourage of human beings who just love to support her and love to support everything that she’s about.”
He used an incredible word to describe their relationship.
“With that being said, I do, you know, have a guarded approach to it,” he explained before Super Bowl 58. “But at the same time, I know what me and Taylor have is special, so I get [the interest].”
Taylor Swift was spotted at 13 of Travis Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs football games this past season, first popping up in a box at Arrowhead Stadium in Missouri on Sept. 24, 2023. The team won 10 of the 13 games at which she’s been in attendance.
That also included the team winning playoff games over the Miami Dolphins, Buffalo Bills, Baltimore Ravens, and then the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl.
Kelce finished the Super Bowl with nine receptions for 93 yards, including a crucial catch in overtime.
The 34-year-old slowed down slightly in 2023, finishing with 93 catches for 984 yards and five touchdowns. It should be noted he did miss two games, Week 1 due to injury and Week 17 as he chose to sit out with the Chiefs not playing for anything.
