The wide receiver has already tied his career-high with five touchdowns and leads the team with 357 yards.<\/p>\n<p>Coach Brian Schottenheimer has repeatedly praised Pickens since Dallas acquired him in the offseason via a trade with the Pittsburgh Steelers in exchange for future draft picks.<\/p>\n<p>With the high level he&#8217;s playing at, the 24-year-old Pickens acknowledged that other teams have a \u201cmotive\u201d to psyche him out, as reported by Dallas Morning News&#8217; Joseph Hoyt. He, however, remained unfazed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith me, I\u2019ve kind of figured out I\u2019m so good, that\u2019s the only way you can try and take me out of the game,\u201d said Pickens.<\/p>\n<blockquote data-dnt=\"true\" data-width=\"500\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Cowboys WR George Pickens talked today about knowing the \u201cmotive\u201d of other teams when it comes to trying to get him over the edge.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith me, I\u2019ve kind of figured out I\u2019m so good, that\u2019s the only way you can try and take me out of the game.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pickens has 5 TDs in 5 games. pic.twitter.com\/AyqqbMUXV1<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/JoeJHoyt\/status\/1976030018460623076?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1976030018460623076%7Ctwgr%5Efd0a293513343b9f204f69d30e981c56a4aaf557%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fclutchpoints.com%2Fnfl%2Fdallas-cowboys%2Fcowboys-news-george-pickens-only-1-way-take-him-out-games<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It&#8217;s no secret that Pickens&#8217; brashness has rubbed some people the wrong way. That quality, however, has always been his fuel since entering the NFL as a second-round pick in 2022. He plays with his heart on his sleeve\u2014sometimes to a fault\u2014but that&#8217;s probably exactly what the Cowboys need.<\/p>\n<p>While he&#8217;s having a breakout year, which could earn him his first-ever nod to the Pro Bowl, Pickens said he&#8217;s taking it one game at a time, while also giving credit to his teammates.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt&#8217;s always fun to compete against the top guys. But like I said before, I&#8217;m just trying to help the team win. I feel like last week, that&#8217;s what a team win looks like,\u201d said the Pickens in a video posted by the Cowboys, referring to their victory over the New York Jets, 37-22.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost definitely, the guys, Dak (Prescott), the young O-line stepping up because it&#8217;s my first year, so they are definitely helping me out as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Watch out, NFL!<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens didn&#8217;t hesitate to share his mindset when battling against tough defenses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":105063,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[54,306,9],"class_list":["post-105061","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl","tag-dallas-cowboys","tag-george-pickens","tag-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
