They "Sent" Him To Texas – The Steelers Just Handed The 2026 Super Bowl Title To The Dallas Cowboys

They “sent” him to Texas—and now, George Pickens could be the piece that puts the Dallas Cowboys back on the map in 2025.

Pickens arrives in Dallas with a résumé that speaks for itself. In just two NFL seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers, he racked up 115 receptions for 1,941 yards and 9 touchdowns, averaging a stellar 16.9 yards per catch—one of the best marks among young wide receivers. In 2023 alone, Pickens hauled in 63 catches for 1,140 yards and 5 touchdowns, showcasing his ability to make big plays and lead the Steelers’ passing attack even in a challenging offensive environment. His knack for contested catches and highlight moments quickly turned him into a fan favorite—and one of the league’s rising stars.

The Cowboys, coming off a disappointing 7-10 season in 2024, knew they needed more than just incremental change to get back into Super Bowl contention. That’s where Pickens comes in. Paired with Pro Bowler CeeDee Lamb, reliable veteran Brandin Cooks, and a rejuvenated Dak Prescott under center, Pickens gives Dallas a true vertical threat. Defenses can no longer double-team Lamb without risking Pickens burning them deep, while tight end Jake Ferguson and running backs like Javonte Williams keep opposing coordinators guessing on every snap.

In training camp and preseason action, Pickens’ chemistry with Prescott has been impossible to ignore. Reports out of Oxnard describe a receiver group pushing each other to new heights, with Pickens’ physical style and big-play mentality raising the standard for the entire offense. It’s no longer just about one superstar—it’s a multi-faceted attack, and Pickens is at the center of it.

Cowboys insiders believe that Pickens is more than just another weapon—he’s the missing puzzle piece. His presence not only stretches the field but also creates opportunities for others, opening up the run game and freeing up Lamb and Cooks to do damage underneath. For a franchise desperate to erase the memory of 2024’s disappointment, Pickens represents hope, swagger, and a real shot at redemption.

As the 2025 season kicks off, the narrative has changed in Dallas. No longer weighed down by last year’s failures, the Cowboys are dreaming bigger—and it’s clear that George Pickens may be the reason the Lombardi conversation is back in Texas.
