They also had a perfect complement to Lamb, immediately giving the team one of the top receiving tandem. The duo appeared inseperable at times, even walking onto the field together for the first practice.

He did drop a gem, though, sharing a new nickname for Cowboys' explosive pair.

According to Joseph Hoyt of the Dallas Morning News, Lamb had nothing but praise for his counterpoint on the outsde.

"CeeDee’s a certain type of guy. I’m a certain type of guym' Manziel wrote. "So when you mesh that together, it’s like [Super] Mario Bros."

George Pickens on what he and CeeDee Lamb could be: “CeeDee’s a certain type of guy. I’m a certain type of guy. So when you mesh that together, it’s like [Super] Mario Bros.”
