It almost feels like he\u2019s been around forever\u2014but the reality is, we\u2019re only now seeing the full version of Pickens.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"350\" data-end=\"679\">During his time in <strong data-start=\"369\" data-end=\"383\">Pittsburgh<\/strong>, Pickens showcased his <strong data-start=\"407\" data-end=\"427\">big-play ability<\/strong>, but without a stable quarterback situation, his ceiling remained capped. The flashes were there, but consistency was elusive. That all changed when he joined the <strong data-start=\"591\" data-end=\"609\">Dallas Cowboys<\/strong>, finally paired with a quarterback capable of unlocking his talent.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"681\" data-end=\"1081\"><strong data-start=\"681\" data-end=\"697\">Dak Prescott<\/strong> has been that key. With a reliable QB throwing him the ball, Pickens is flourishing. He currently ranks <strong data-start=\"802\" data-end=\"842\">second in the NFL in receiving yards<\/strong>, outperforming wideouts who are older, more experienced, and drafted higher. His timing couldn\u2019t be better, as he is entering the <strong data-start=\"973\" data-end=\"1010\">final year of his rookie contract<\/strong>\u2014a breakout season that positions him perfectly for a lucrative deal.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1083\" data-end=\"1184\">Pickens\u2019 performance on <strong data-start=\"1107\" data-end=\"1152\">Monday Night Football against the Raiders<\/strong> was a statement. He recorded:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"1186\" data-end=\"1241\">\n<li data-start=\"1186\" data-end=\"1203\">\n<p data-start=\"1188\" data-end=\"1203\"><strong data-start=\"1188\" data-end=\"1201\">9 catches<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1204\" data-end=\"1221\">\n<p data-start=\"1206\" data-end=\"1221\"><strong data-start=\"1206\" data-end=\"1219\">144 yards<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1222\" data-end=\"1241\">\n<p data-start=\"1224\" data-end=\"1241\"><strong data-start=\"1224\" data-end=\"1239\">1 touchdown<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"1243\" data-end=\"1355\">It was a primetime showcase from a wide receiver who finally has a quarterback that can match his skill level.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1357\" data-end=\"1540\">The Dallas Cowboys have not only discovered a dynamic playmaker but now have a <strong data-start=\"1436\" data-end=\"1465\">superstar on their roster<\/strong>.
