One of the most intriguing stories of the offseason was the Pittsburgh Steelers trade of wide receiver George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys. Gaining a reputation as a diva, the Steelers felt it was time to cut ties. Normally when Mike Tomlin has had enough it signals a time for change. 

Prior to his trade, George Pickens was set to hold a youth football camp in Pittsburgh on Saturday, June 28th. Pickens had informed the organization running the camp TruEdge Sports that he would still attend despite his trade. Pickens recently backed out just last week. 

With plenty of children and their families excited for the event, this has come to a huge disappointment for many. Fortunately, Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth has agreed to take up for Pickens’ slack and will help run the event. It looks like the only camp George Pickens will be attending this year is Cowboys training camp with Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb.
