Last season, Pickens hauled in 59 catches for 900 yards and three touchdowns. Throughout his time in Pittsburgh, Pickens recorded 174 catches for 2,841 yards and 12 touchdowns.

While Pickens is one of the league's best deep threats, Lamb does a majority of his work over the middle and out of the slot. It's going to be fun to see how their pairing opens up the offense for Dak Prescott during the 2025 season.
