Pickens is one of the top wide receivers in the NFL, but his issues, both on and off the field, are certainly concerning.<\/p>\n<p>His pure talent isn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>Pickens understands that, and so do the Cowboys. If they want to be the team they\u2019re looking to be this season, they need him to be on the same page as everybody on the rest of the roster. The Cowboys have Super Bowl aspirations, and while it might be a long shot given the numerous issues on their roster, Pickens will be a big part in accomplishing that goal.<\/p>\n<p>When speaking to reporters about his situation, he\u2019s continued to praise quarterback Dak Prescott. Prescott is one of the nicest guys in the NFL, and he\u2019s loved by many around the league.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s [Prescott] controlling everything. All the stuff, all the plays are based on him. I get to see how he wants to run his stuff, how Schotty [head coach Brian Schottenheimer] is calling it. Everything is connecting slowly but surely,\u201d Pickens said Wednesday, per CBS .<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>George Pickens\u2019 Relationship With Dak Prescott<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s fantastic to hear Pickens has excellent things to say about Prescott, who also shared his thoughts about the Dallas Cowboys\u2019 newest edition.<\/p>\n<p>Many thought that Prescott could end up being frustrated with some of Pickens\u2019 off-the-field and on-the-field antics, but that doesn\u2019t seem to be the case.<\/p>\n<p>He told reporters that they need to form their own opinion, and that\u2019s what the Cowboys seem to be doing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think that\u2019s why you should never really listen to what somebody else says about somebody,\u201d Prescott said Thursday. \u201cI think you should find out for yourself who they are and allow them to reveal their character to you. The guy\u2019s been great. \u2029He\u2019s been phenomenal.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Cowboys Have Glowing Praise for <strong>George Pickens<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Prescott isn\u2019t the only Dallas Cowboys player or coach who has spoken positively about Pickens so far. That includes new head coach Brian Schottenheimer, who admitted that Pickens has done an excellent job for them, and he\u2019s pleased with the way that Prescott has shown him the ropes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe comes to work every day with a smile on his face,\u201d Schottenheimer said Thursday. \u201cHe\u2019s very personal when you get to know him. I love being around him. I love talking to him about life. I love shooting baskets against him. I love just watching him. \u2026 He\u2019s been amazing. He was the last guy to leave the practice field today. I think that speaks volumes of the fact that he\u2019s excited about what we\u2019re building. I\u2019m a big GP fan.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s still plenty that has to play out for the Cowboys over the next few months, as this is very early stages of the offseason.<\/p>\n<p>However, Pickens seems to be in a great spot, and for now, that\u2019s all the Cowboys and he can ask for. If this trend continues, there\u2019s reason to believe Dallas could be in a strong position regarding its future.<\/p>\n<p>The Cowboys need him, and all sides seem to understand that.<\/p>\n<p>Jon Conahan covers the NBA and NFL for Heavy.com.
