George Pickens has wasted no time getting familiar with the Dallas Cowboys. Since joining the team following a trade with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Pickens has been working on building chemistry with fellow pass-catching star CeeDee Lamb and franchise quarterback Dak Prescott.

It has paid off during minicamp, with Pickens reportedly being "unguardable" at times and connecting with Prescott on several touchdowns.

Pickens is in the zone, and he's ready to make the most of his second chance in the NFL after character and locker room issues lingered during his time in the Steel City.

When speaking to the media at minicamp, Pickens went as far as to say he feels comfortable in the Cowboys scheme because it fits his skillset and play style more than any offense he's been in since becoming a star for the Georgia Bulldogs.

Cowboys WR George Pickens on why this is the right place for him: “Just the guys and the team speed. The team speed applies to the scheme too. If you got a lot of fast guys, you’re gonna definitely have a different scheme.”

"Just the guys and the team speed. The team speed applies to the scheme too," Pickens said, via Jon Machota of The Athletic. "If you got a lot of fast guys, you’re gonna definitely have a different scheme"

That is exciting for Cowboys Nation to hear.

With a healthy Dak Prescott under center and the Pickens-Lamb duo on the outside, the Cowboys offense has a real opportunity to become a problem for opposing defenses in 2025.

Let's hope Brian Schottenheimer can keep the energy high and team chemistry strong.
