Cowboys' CeeDee and Pickens Tandem Defined By One Dak Word

This time last year, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott didn't have his No. 1 weapon, CeeDee Lamb, on the practice field.

Lamb was going through his contract situation and didn't hit the field until late in training camp. This time around, CeeDee has been at The Star from Day 1 of OTAs through to the end of minicamp.

The chemistry that was noticeably lacking early last season is now there with Dak and CeeDee already hitting the ground running.

"It's valuable, CeeDee being here,” Prescott said. “It's hard to even put in comparison him being here, the work we're able to get versus last year, the contract negotiations, but just to have him here, having these practices getting off to a good start, understanding each other, what we're trying to accomplish has been monumental."

But Lamb now isn't the only bona fide weapon as Prescott's disposal in 2025.

He now has George Pickens.

After being traded to Dallas by the Pittsburgh Steelers, Dak and George had hit it off from the outset, with the pair already routinely connecting at OTAs and minicamp.

"Adding GP, that's been monumental," Prescott added. "When you bring in guys like that, talented guys, guys I've played with over the years that you look at their resume and they're winning there, that's credit to them.''

"Monumental.'' Times two.

With all eyes now on Dallas' "Big 3," it appears that the trio is in a good spot as attention turns to Oxnard.

Granted, this is the time of the offseason when Dak usually takes some offensive players on a little getaway to build chemistry and camaraderie, and we expect this offseason to be no different.

So while everything is trending well right now, come training camp, expect this dynamite trio to do "monumental" things on the practice field.
