Dak Prescott is more energized than he has been in years. The Dallas Cowboys quarterback, who is about to make his comeback from the injury that kept him out of action the previous season, says he is excited to play again and get to know his new wide receiver, George Pickens.
Due to an injured hamstring, Prescott missed the majority of the 2024 NFL season. The Cowboys gave Cooper Rush the reins in his absence, but after leading the league in scoring for two consecutive years, the offense saw a sharp decline to 21 points per game.
Pickens’ acquisition from the Pittsburgh Steelers was a daring move on the part of Dallas. And it makes Dak very happy. Prescott expressed nothing but positive things about his new target in an interview with the Cowboys’ official website.

With obvious excitement, he mentioned Pickens’ ability to shake off safeties: “Go turn on that guy’s tape,”
“He’s getting separation-even when he’s not getting the ball. And when he doesn’t have separation, he’s still making the catches.”
“It’s not going to be hard. For me, it’s about getting the ball near that guy-and he’ll be George Pickens. Go turn on the tape, he’s great at doing it.”

With a smile on his face, Prescott described the prospect of throwing to both Pickens and Lamb as “exciting as hell.” Prescott feels that practical experience has disproved the rumors regarding Pickens’ character off the field. His involvement with the team proved to be contrary to “a lot of the things you heard in the past.”
