George Pickens Bails on Pittsburgh Youth Camp, Despite Recommitting After Trade

Former Steelers wide receiver George Pickens, who was traded to the Dallas Cowboys on May 7, had planned to conduct a youth camp in Pittsburgh on June 28 but ultimately withdrew from the commitment.
Although Pickens initially reassured fans and TruEdge Sports that he would honor the camp commitment after the trade, his team notified TruEdge last week that he would no longer attend.
TruEdge Sports announced Pat Freiermuth, Steelers tight end, will replace Pickens and other potential Steelers players might also appear to support the rescheduled camp on July 20.
TruEdge announced that last week they were informed by George’s team that he has retracted his previous commitment and will not be participating in the camp, expressing their strong disappointment over this change.
Despite Pickens backing out, TruEdge committed to holding the event as planned and providing free autographs and a 25% credit toward future camps to maintain a positive experience for families.
