George PickensWRDAL
George Pickens dominated for Dallas while handling one of the lowest slot rates in recent memory for a receiver with his level of production—just 7.6% of snaps from the slot (lowest from 2023–2025 for a WR with 200+ routes), averaging 84.1 yards per game. Matt Harmon notes Pickens has evolved from a guy who struggled to separate early in his career to an absolute menace against press-man coverage, and his frustrating moments are fewer and farther between, solidifying his case as one of the premier X-receivers in the NFL.
