Cowboys Offer One-Word George Pickens Scouting Report From OTAs

   

New players always want to make a good first impression, and for Dallas Cowboys receiver George Pickens, he was coming to The Star with a fiery reputation.

But as he chases a new contract at season's end, one thing has been crystal clear since he entered the building - he's here to work.

Head coach Brian Schottenheimer has praised George's "intentionality" in the classroom, picking up the scheme and system quickly, and then his play on the practice field with a sublime toe-tap touchdown grab at OTAs all point to a player who is dialed in and loving his new surroundings.

"Outstanding," Cowboys' COO Jones said of Pickens. "He's just been outstanding, it's great to see him, his interactions with CeeDee in the receiving room, and with Dak and the quarterbacks, and in general. He's thrilled to be here, and we're thrilled to have him here."

With CeeDee Lamb finally getting his running mate, Dak Prescott now has what can easily be described as a formidable tandem to work with.

 

But before George can be a weapon for Dak, he must dot his I's and cross his T's which is perhaps why it has been so refreshing to see the receiver at OTAs, and not just going through the motions, but making plays and being intentional with how he is approaching his chance with the Cowboys.

With Lamb and Pickens as a one-two punch, the Cowboys offense has the chance to do some damage this season, in what is a far cry from the unit Dak had to work with last season.

Yes, the talent is there from Pickens, but it is his work ethic and willingness to embrace the Schottenheimer way that have stood out.

It is early, but Pickens, despite all the narratives surrounding him, hasn't put a foot wrong, so it's no wonder Stephen is rather happy with his latest acquisition.
