The Dallas Cowboys see a little Dez Bryant in former Steelers WR George Pickens, and think it’s a good thing. While Bryant caused the occasional headache, he certainly made plays, including 73 touchdowns over eight years. So far, Pickens has had Bryant beat on the headaches, but not on the production. The Cowboys are counting on that flipping—though not too much. Both sides appear willing to let him play out the last year of his rookie contract, despite the third-round investment.
“We think of [George Pickens] as more than a [WR No.] 2”, Cowboys COO Stephen Jones told Adam Schein about the former Steelers wide receiver.
