Ravens players go viral for throwing shade at George Pickens

Posted on by newssite

The mind games have already begun between the Baltimore Ravens and the Pittsburgh Steelers ahead of their playoff clash in the Wild Card round.

A video taken inside the Ravens’ locker room has gone viral this week after a couple of players appeared to troll Steelers wide receiver George Pickens. In the clip, Baltimore Banner’s Giana Han had various Ravens players try Lamar Jackson’s unisex cologne called “Night Lights.” A bottle costs $90 on Jackson’s Era 8 Apparel website.

Jackson’s cologne became a trending topic after the Ravens star had an interview with GQ last month. Jackson revealed that he made his own unisex cologne because he prefers more feminine scents.

The cologne got positive reviews from some of Jackson’s teammates such as running back Keaton Mitchell, defensive tackle Travis Jones, and wide receivers Tylan Wallace and Nelson Agholor. During Jones’ segment, background chatter between two players off-camera caught fans’ attention online.

“It smells kind of like George Pickens!” said one Ravens player.

“Soft? Yeah, just like that,” another appeared to say in response.

Pickens is coming off one of the worst games of his career Saturday during the Steelers’ season finale against the Cincinnati Bengals. The third-year wide receiver had three drops and caught just one of his six targets. His lone catch did not even yield positive yardage in the 19-17 loss.

Given how Pickens responded to a few trash-talking fans during Saturday’s game, the Ravens’ online slights may very well fire up the Steelers wideout ahead of the Wild Card clash.
