Former Pittsburgh Steeler Antonio Brown raised a big question about George Pickens ahead of the 2025 NFL season opener between the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles and Pickens’ Dallas Cowboys. Lincoln Financial Field will host the two NFC East rivals in the first game of the season.Hours before kickoff, Brown posted a question about Pickens’ performance on X. Pickens was traded from the Steelers in the offseason, joining CeeDee Lamb in the wide receiver room for a Cowboys team that will have plenty of eyes on it this season.Brown wondered if Pickens would be able to outperform the team’s WR1."Would George Pickens out due CD 🐑 tonight…" Brown tweeted.George Pickens failed to establish himself as a true WR1 in Pittsburgh. He only surpassed 1,000 yards once in three years with the Steelers and never caught more than 63 passes in a season. In 48 games, he has 174 catches for 2,841 yards and 12 touchdowns.His personality and antics on and off the field raised questions about whether he was the right player to lead the Steelers’ passing game. After three years, he was traded to Dallas, ending a partnership with DK Metcalf, who had landed from Seattle before the Steelers signed Aaron Rodgers as their new starting quarterback.CeeDee Lamb has had multiple partners over the years, but Pickens may be the most talented. The No. 17 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft didn’t have the best season in 2024, with 101 receptions for 1,194 yards and six touchdowns, a regression from his impressive 2023 season (101 catches, 1,749 yards, 12 TDs).George Pickens discusses Micah Parsons trade to PackersGeorge Pickens wasn't the only player involved in a Dallas Cowboys trade before the season. The wide receiver addressed Micah Parsons’ departure after a contract standoff, sharing his opinion on how the situation unfolded."I feel like it was just, you know, some people got to do the best for their situation, and I feel like from organization and from player, that's exactly what happened," Pickens said."A guy that's been here for like four or five years dominantly, you know, making an impact. You definitely gonna feel his presence when he's not here."The Cowboys enter the 2025 season with a lot to prove. Their first test is a matchup against the defending champion Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday.
