Cowboys already seeing strong Dak Prescott, George Pickens connection

The Dallas Cowboys began minicamp on Tuesday, and now every play made on the practice field will be heavily scrutinized by everyone that gets a chance to see it.

There are plenty of stories to keep an eye on this offseason regarding the team; however, many are already wondering what the addition of George Pickens will do for the offense.

Patrik Walker of the official Cowboys website gave fans some insight from what he saw during minicamp, mentioning the connection between quarterback Dak Prescott and Pickens.

My biggest takeaway from MC1 (minicamp 1) by the #Cowboys:

Dak Prescott connection/chemistry with George Pickens is already very, very real — the two connecting on several attempts that either included YAC or a big downfield play.

One deep ball that was caught in double…

Walker tweeted that Pickens already looks the part in the offense. The plays being discussed were "big downfield plays" by the new quarterback-wide receiver combination.

Comments like this will have Cowboys counting down the days until the team takes the field against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 1.

#Cowboys George Pickens for media day.

It shouldn't come as a surprise that Pickens has already made an impact on the field. In his three seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Pickens had over 800 yards receiving in each season, including a 1,000 yard season in 2023.

The debate on who should be the number one option in the pass game needs to stop from any outside noise. CeeDee Lamb is one of the best in the league. However, that doesn't mean Pickens can't make this a two headed monster. The offense has scary potential heading into the new season.
