Pickens, who has his issues on the field at times, is one of the better wide receivers in the NFL. Likely serving as the second option for the Cowboys, Dallas might have the best second option in the NFL.<\/p>\n<p>Figuring things out with CeeDee Lamb land will be a challenge. It isn\u2019t as if the Cowboys will go out there and dominate every team instantly. It\u2019ll take time during training camp, the preseason, and even at times during the regular season.<\/p>\n<p>However, when speaking to reporters, including Todd Archer of ESPN, Lamb admitted that he and Pickens complement each other well, adding that he\u2019s a tall receiver who can go up and get any ball thrown to him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMan, we complement each other very well,\u201d Lamb said . \u201cObviously, he\u2019s a tall figure. His ability to go up and get the ball at the highest point is amazing. I don\u2019t think anybody in the league can really \u2026 he\u2019s up there with the guys in the league as far as 50\/50 balls, deep threat. Anything as far as running routes, it\u2019s pretty good. It\u2019s good to see.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>How Does Pickens Fit Within the Cowboys?<\/h2>\n<p>The Dallas Cowboys understand that Pickens has had a polarizing side to him on the field. Whether it be arguing with refs, arguing with teammates, or much more, they have to hope that he comes in ready to work.<\/p>\n<p>After posting 1,140 yards and five touchdowns during the 2023 season, with a below-average offense for the Pittsburgh Steelers, Pickens\u2019 numbers should be better. If he can tone down the other stuff, he has a chance to be an elite talent for this Cowboys team.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust intermediate stuff,\u201d Pickens said. \u201cHe\u2019s got great feet, stepping in certain places. He steps in place a lot, which means he can get where he\u2019s going fast and in a short space. And he\u2019s tall. A lot of people don\u2019t know he\u2019s kind of tall.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Dak Prescott Chimes In<\/h2>\n<p>And most importantly in it all, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott will now have another wide receiver to throw the football to.<\/p>\n<p>With one of the more below-average units in the NFL over the past few years, Prescott now has no excuses. Sure, the Cowboys\u2019 run game could be much better, but he has some weapons to throw the football to, and that should open up the run game some.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLooking at the guy\u2019s tape, you see what he does, the kind of receiver he is. He\u2019s going to win on one-on-ones. He can win two versus one if he has to,\u201d Prescott said. \u201cVery, very talented guy. When you can add him alongside a CeeDee and the rest of the weapons we have, I\u2019m super excited.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It sounds like the Cowboys star is happy, and that\u2019s one of the most important factors. If Prescott is excited to throw the football to somebody like Pickens, and things work out the way they can, Dallas might have one of its best seasons in a very long time.<\/p>\n<p>Many Cowboys fans will be hoping for that after a few years of misery.<\/p>\n<p>Jon Conahan covers the NBA and NFL for Heavy.com.
