Pickens Shines with Cowboys While Rodgers Stirs Steelers Drama

George Pickens Looks Right at Home in Dallas

The Dallas Cowboys took a calculated risk trading for George Pickens, and so far, it’s paying off. At training camp, he’s been in sync with CeeDee Lamb, forming a promising duo. Lamb even hinted he wants George Pickens as a long-term teammate.

George Pickens is showing why he wanted out of Pittsburgh. His chemistry with Dak Prescott already has fans excited. Known for his sideline grabs and deep threats, Pro Football Focus has ranked him as one of the NFL’s top vertical receivers.

Aaron Rodgers Already Creating Friction in Pittsburgh

Meanwhile in Pittsburgh, Aaron Rodgers has caused tension at camp. During a recent drill, tight end Pat Freiermuth was visibly upset when Rodgers ignored him in favor of D.K. Metcalf. Freiermuth’s frustration was clear, he threw his hands up in disbelief after being left wide open.
