Dallas, TX – May 14, 2025
Dallas Cowboys legend Tony Romo expressed excitement over the team’s acquisition of George Pickens from the Pittsburgh Steelers, predicting he’ll form a dynamic duo with CeeDee Lamb to ignite the offense in the 2025 NFL season. On NFL on CBS, Romo said: “Pickens brings explosiveness, and Lamb can do it all. They’re a nightmare for defenses.”

Pickens’ Stats (2022-2024): 174 receptions, 2,841 yards, 12 TDs (NFL.com).
Lamb’s Stats (2024): 101 receptions, 1,384 yards, 8 TDs (ESPN).
Romo highlighted Pickens’ deep-threat ability (16.3 yards/catch) as a perfect complement to Lamb’s short-route dominance (73% catch rate on short passes, PFF). With Dak Prescott (920 deep passing yards in 2023), this pair could challenge the Eagles in Week 1, despite Vegas’ -7 point spread favoring Philly (Inside The Iggles, May 14, 2025).
While concerns linger about Pickens’ attitude (negative Instagram comment, marca.com, May 12, 2025), Romo believes the Cowboys’ culture will guide him. A post on X by @CowboysNation (May 14, 2025) agreed: “Romo’s right! Lamb and Pickens are about to erupt!”
