Cowboys' George Pickens' latest training camp admission should terrify NFC East rivals
George Pickens reveals how his mindset has changed entering his second season with the Dallas Cowboys and why he feels more comfortable in 2026.
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens' latest training camp admission should send chills down the spines of NFC East rivals. The 2026 season will mark his second with the team, and he is entering on a franchise tag after signing a fully guaranteed one-year, $27.3 million contract on April 29. Despite his breakout campaign in 2025, characterized by career-best numbers, Pickens continues to demonstrate his commitment to the organization.
During the final full practice before their second preseason game in Arizona, he showed he is becoming more comfortable in the offense, playing faster and bringing more energy to the field. Quarterback Dak Prescott believes Pickens' growth extends beyond individual statistics, noting that he is learning to "bring the energy, make the catches, make the plays."
With greater experience under his belt, the Cowboys expect Pickens to play an even bigger role in their pursuit of another deep postseason run.
