via the team’s website<\/a>. “He’s getting separation. He’s got separation even when he’s not getting the ball at times, and when he doesn’t have separation, he’s still making catches. It’s not going to be hard.<\/p>\nAdvertisement<\/p>\n
“For me, it’s about getting the ball near that guy and he will be George Pickens. Go turn on the tape — he’s great at doing it.”<\/p>\n
Pickens is at his best in contested-catch situations downfield. He adds a vertical element to the offense that didn’t exist in 2024, allowing Dallas to take advantage of Prescott’s aggressiveness and deep accuracy.<\/p>\n
With Pickens winning on the perimeter and stretching the field, there’s even more room for Lamb to do what he does best — win over the middle of the field. His after-the-catch skills stand out, and with a viable threat taking some attention away from him, he figures to be weaponized in 2025.<\/p>\n
Pickens is the ideal stylistic complement to Lamb and the type of playmaker the Cowboys have missed. Having two quality options is one thing; having them make each other better is another. There’s more than enough room for both in this offense, and with a quarterback capable of putting up elite numbers, fireworks should be in order.<\/p>\n

Prescott doesn’t plan on letting that opportunity slip away.<\/p>\n
“To be the guy that gets them the ball, it’s exciting as hell.”<\/p>\n
