Transferred by Steelers to Cowboys, George Pickens held his first press conference on Thursday. On the menu: Cowboys, behavior and future reviews.
A happy george pickens
Turned to the future, the receiver was enthusiastic about his association with Ceedee Lamb.
“Ceedee is a dynamic receiver, a superb person and a great player. I have the feeling that in terms of diagram, you will not be able to put two defenders on everyone. So it's going to be an excellent thing for him and me. »»
And for Pickens, do not talk about recipient number 2.
“You are talking about receiver 1A and 1b and all these things. Honestly, this is the first time that I have heard of number 2. I have the feeling that two recipients is normal. When I look at football, there is always a good recipient and another good receiver to his opposite. I think we are going to work very well for each other. »»
A joy that is also linked to his new quarterback, Dak Prescott.
“One of the first guys I discussed with is Dak. I watched her games, it's an excellent quarterback. An intelligent quarterbrack. I am happy to work with him. »»
The recipient has hitherto received Kenny Pickett balloons, Mitch Trubisky, Mason Rudolph, Justin Fields and Russell Wilson. Except Russell Wilson (at the end of the race, etc.), the quality difference with Dak Prescott is striking and we can understand the enthusiasm of Pickens.
Make a clean sweep of the past
The player also returned to his adventure in Pittsburgh and his behavior. One of the factors of his departure from Pennsylvania.
“I don't want to look in the past. I cannot change the opinion of others on me. I personally continue to grow. Everyone must grow up as you get older. I'm just trying to build a winner's culture. »»
Pickens indirectly refers to the echoes which mention a weariness of the Steelers and Mike Tomlin concerning the behavior of the young player.
The receiver explains that he learned his transfer at the same time as everyone even if he was aware of discussion on an exchange. Pickens said he had not made a request for his part. However, no question for the player to criticize the Steelers.
“This game is as much business as football. I don't have so much control on it. I'm just happy to be here in Dallas. »»
The neo Texan concluded his first speech by explaining that he had not yet thought about his contract which enters his last year. It is up to him to raise his brilliant value on the ground in 2025.
