George Pickens joins Dallas Cowboys with a jab at Pittsburgh Steelers, hyping a dynamic duo with CeeDee Lamb as the Mario Bros.

George Pickens is gearing up for a new chapter with the Dallas Cowboys after a dramatic trade from the Pittsburgh Steelers following a rocky 2024 season. As he dives into training camp, Pickens is radiating optimism about this fresh start and didn’t hold back with a subtle dig at his former team.

“I’m definitely excited to run better plays,” Pickens remarked with a smirk, hinting at some dissatisfaction with the Steelers’ playbook. It’s a bold statement from a player who racked up 59 catches for 900 yards and three touchdowns under coach Mike Tomlin. Now, under the Cowboys’ new head coach Brian Schottenheimer and offensive coordinator Klayton Adams, Pickens seems ready to rewrite his story.

What’s more, Pickens has already found a dynamic partnership with star receiver CeeDee Lamb, playfully comparing their duo to the Mario Bros. “CeeDee’s a certain type of guy, and I’m a certain type of guy. When you mesh that together, it’s like Mario Bros. We can do something special,” he said. With Lamb coming off a season with 152 targets, adding Pickens to the mix could spell a more explosive offense for Dallas, especially as they navigate challenges like Dak Prescott’s injury recovery.

The Cowboys are banking on Pickens to open up their game plan, and if his confidence is any indicator, fans might just see a Super Bowl-worthy performance from this revamped squad.

Editor's Comments

Well, George Pickens just tossed a verbal touchdown pass straight at the Steelers’ playbook! Calling his new gig with the Cowboys a chance to ‘run better plays’ is the kind of shade you’d expect from a wide receiver with his yards. And likening himself and CeeDee Lamb to the Mario Bros.? I guess that makes the Steelers’ defense the Goombas—easy to stomp! Let’s see if this dynamic duo can power-up Dallas to a championship level, or if they’ll just be collecting coins in the wildcard round.
