George Pickens NFL 100 Ranking Draws Strong Criticism Amid Cowboys Camp
Dallas Cowboys receiver George Pickens landed what some considered a surprising spot on the NFL Top 100 ahead of the season.
As the Dallas Cowboys prepare for their season opener just over a month away, the NFL has unveiled its annual top 100 players list, with wide receiver George Pickens ranking at No. 36. The ranking has drawn criticism from fans who feel Pickens, who caught 93 passes for the Cowboys last season, should have been ranked higher. Pickens' agent, Romeo Doubs, praised Pickens' abilities, highlighting his route-running, ball-calling skills, and competitive nature.
However, some fans felt that other players, like Detroit Lions offensive tackle Penei Sewell, deserved a higher ranking. Pickens, who made his first Pro Bowl in 2024, has shown significant improvement with Dallas, catching more passes and scoring more touchdowns than he did in three seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Cowboys, who missed the playoffs in 2023 and 2024, hope Pickens' addition to the offense with CeeDee Lamb will give them more explosive options for quarterback Dak Prescott and help them reach the postseason.
