George Pickens

Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer said George Pickens is “maturing.”

Pickens is expected to show up for the team’s OTAs. Schottenheimer said he’s been impressed with Pickens since the Cowboys acquired the wideout from the Steelers in exchange for draft compensation. “I see a guy that’s maturing,” Schottenheimer said when asked about Pickens during a Tuesday presser. Pickens comes to Dallas after three up-and-down seasons in Pittsburgh, where he often threw on-field tantrums and delivered a number of low-effort performances when the quarterback wasn’t force feeding him the ball. Dak Prescott said last week that he sees Pickens as “more than a 50-50 catcher” who could be used as much more than a downfield specialist in the Dallas offense.
