ESPN NFL analyst @PSchrags on the #Cowboys trading for George Pickens:
“I’ve talked to the Steelers folks. George Pickens is demonstrative on the field, but he is not an un-coachable player. In fact he does have a great way about him in the locker room and is very well liked in Pittsburgh.”

Undrafted…
I get it. Not being drafted sucks. The whole thing isn’t a dream for us. They don’t invite guys like us to the draft. Hell, most of us don’t even throw get togethers, and the ones that do are pissed off they did. Just because you weren’t picked doesn’t mean that you aren’t chosen…. The beauty is you now have a chance to make this a chapter in a story that empowers.
It won’t be easy. This journey can be lonely. People will over look you… if you let them. No one will stand on the table for you… until you make them. I wish I could tell you if you’re good enough you’ll make it, but I can’t. And you know that, but I do know if you don’t work your ass off you might as well not show up.
Things don’t go perfectly for us but it doesn’t mean you won’t be great. You could go from bagging groceries to the Hall of fame, win Super Bowls with your legs, or get cut more times than you can count and still have one of the most phenomenal plays in Super Bowl History! Shoot maybe even two of you can share an iconic moment.
You have a chance, & that chance is now. Walk into the building knowing you belong, but work like you’re the only one who knows that. Remember, just because you weren’t picked doesn’t mean you aren’t chosen. I wore it on my chest for 13 years to remind me, I wear it on my back now to remind you. Best of luck fellas. See y’all soon.
