George Pickens might not be the loudest name in Oxnard, but he's quickly becoming one of the most intriguing. After topping 1,000 yards in Pittsburgh last year, Pickens lands in Dallas with a fresh playbook, a Pro Bowl-caliber QB in Dak Prescott, and a chance to redefine his ceiling as the Cowboys’ WR2.

The Cowboys’ offense needed a vertical threat opposite CeeDee Lamb, and Pickens fits that bill perfectly. His ability to win in contested catches, especially downfield, gives Dallas a weapon they haven’t had since the Dez Bryant era. With Lamb drawing heavy coverage, expect Pickens to see plenty of one-on-one matchups — and opportunities.

Analysts project Pickens to post around 75 receptions, 800–900 yards, and 6 touchdowns if he stays healthy and logs 65–70% of offensive snaps. With his size, catch radius, and yards-after-catch ability, he could quietly produce a WR1.5 season — even if the depth chart says WR2.

Offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer has reportedly designed multiple red-zone packages that feature Pickens in motion, stacked sets, and isolation routes. His role will be more than complementary; it will be calculated.
