The Cowboys on Thursday released a video on X featuring a fun segment where a reporter asked various players quickfire questions in just 40 seconds. One of the questions was, "What can Cowboys Nation expect from you in 2025?"

Pickens responded by highlighting how ready he is for the upcoming season and made it clear that he plans to bring swagger to the Dallas franchise.

"A lot of excitement and a lot of big plays and a lot of swag." Pickens said.

Pickens had a solid season last year in Pittsburgh, making big plays and bringing swagger to the Steelers’ receiving group. Although there were times when Pickens let his emotions get the better of him, including one instance when he got in a fight with an opposing player on the last play of the game and did not attempt to catch the ball, he remains extremely talented and should help Dallas in 2025.

George Pickens finished the 2024 campaign with 59 receptions for 900 yards and three touchdowns in 14 games for the Steelers.

Where does George Pickens rank on the Dallas Cowboys depth chart?

George Pickens is widely expected to fill the WR2 position on the Dallas Cowboys depth chart in 2025. Although Pickens is a star in the league, the Cowboys also have superstar wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, who has arguably been the best receiver in the league over the past few seasons.

While Pickens may want to become a clear WR1 in the league in the future, he has a great chance for opportunities in 2025. Dallas is a pass-first offense, meaning there will be plenty of opportunities for the team’s prominent receivers.

Furthermore, having both Lamb and Pickens on the same team should help both receivers with production and opportunity. With two elite receivers, defensive units will likely be unable to double-team either Pickens or Lamb, leading to more one-on-one opportunities and thus more chances for big plays and production.
