In need of a big-play wideout across from CeeDee Lamb, the Dallas Cowboys were able to bring in George Pickens in a trade with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Pickens brings immense talent but there are also concerns about his attitude. So far in Dallas, they have yet to find a reason to question the fourth-year wideout.
Head coach Brian Schottenheimer has been thoroughly impressed with Pickens, saying his time with the wideout has been “incredible.”
“My time with (George Pickens) has been just incredible. I think we were all on board (with the trade). We’re always trying to find the right pieces and good pieces, and I think we’re really excited about what he brings as a football player,” Schottenheimer said via Jon Machota of The Athletic. “But I see a guy that’s maturing. I see a guy that we’re excited to put out there and watch him grow and get better.”
Of course, it’s still early, so these comments have to be taken with a grain of salt. The real test will be during the regular season, especially during games where Pickens doesn’t see the ball coming his way as much as he expects.
