The search for a No. 2 WR is finally over for the Dallas Cowboys, who on Wednesday finalized a trade that saw the team send a 2026 third-round pick and a 2027 fifth-rounder to the Pittsburgh Steelers in exchange for fourth-year WR George Pickens and a 2027 sixth-round pick.
The former 2022 second-round pick is entering a contract year, and recorded 174 receptions for 2,841 yards and 12 touchdowns in three seasons with the Steelers. Over his first three seasons, Pickens gave the black and yellow plenty of big play highlights, and now Cowboys fans will hope for the same as the 24-year-old wideout will line up opposite All-Pro CeeDee Lamb. Whether it’s a toe-tap on the sideline or a one-handed snag in traffic, the Cowboys’ newest wideout has built a reputation for making the impossible look routine.
Here are five jaw-dropping plays that showcase just how special Pickens really is.
