George Pickens enters second season with Dallas Cowboys ahead of season opener

Dallas Cowboys receiver George Pickens enters his second season with the team as they prepare for a season opener against the New York Giants. Following an All-Pro and Pro Bowl campaign in 2025, Pickens recorded 93 receptions for 1,429 yards and nine touchdowns. Quarterback Dak Prescott noted the receiver's performance during training camp in California but declined to speculate publicly on expectations for the year. Despite playing under the franchise tag this season, Pickens reports increased comfort with the team scheme and positive integration within the locker room. He recently stated he is facing more frequent double coverage from opposing defenses during preseason practice sessions. The team aims to utilize his play to pursue a deep postseason run.
