The Dallas Cowboys engineered one of the biggest trades of the offseason by acquiring wide receiver George Pickens from the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Following that trade, Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said that the team does not view the former Steeler as a No. 2 receiver.
In reality, somebody will be number one and somebody will be number two.
In May, Cowboys star CeeDee Lamb quickly dispelled any lingering concerns about how he’d get along with his new running mate.
“Now we both ones,” Lamb said in an interview with DLLS Sports.
One video of CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens pretty much shows you that the wideouts are going to be the best of friends.
On Wednesday, the duo could be seen celebrating on the field.

Last season, Pickens totaled 59 receptions for 900 yards and three touchdowns across 14 regular-season games. A hamstring injury caused him to miss three games.
Across his three-year stint in Pittsburgh, Pickens averaged 58 receptions for 947 yards and four touchdowns per season.
Lamb, a four-time Pro Bowler, totaled 101 receptions for 1,194 yards and six touchdowns in 15 regular-season games in 2024.
On the first day of Dallas’s training camp, CeeDee Lamb and newcomer George Pickens seemed to be getting along just fine ahead of their first season as teammates.
The newest Dallas Cowboys wide receiver has an iconic pair in mind when thinking of Lamb.
Mario and Luigi.
“Just different types of styles of play. A lot of people over the years got different styles of play, but CeeDee’s a certain type of guy. Then, I’m a certain type of guy. So, when you mesh that together, it’s like Mario Bros,” Pickens said on Tuesday, according to NFL.com. “We definitely can do something special.”
