Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones hit a home run when he traded a 2026 third-round pick and 2027 fifth-round pick to the Pittsburgh Steelers in exchange for Pickens and a 2027 sixth-round selection.

He was asked about the team's receiver duo of CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens, and had high praise for the superstar tandem during his appearance on 105.3 The Fan.

"Boy, we got two No. 1s," Jones said during the appearance. "And that really is problematic (for opposing defenses)."

Pickens has been on a roll this season and is putting up career numbers in a contract year. Entering December, Pickens has hauled in 73 catches for 1,142 receiving yards, which ranks second in the NFL, and eight receiving touchdowns, the third most in the league this season.

While Pickens has been dominant, there is one route that he has excelled at more than any other receiver in the league, according to DallasCowboys.com.

"George Pickens was targeted five times on slant routes against the Chiefs, a route that has become a staple of his playmaking thus far in Dallas. He caught four of those targets for 73 yards, the most receiving yards on slant routes in a game by a wide receiver in the NFL this season."
