Dak Prescott keeps praising George Pickens, his new teammate with the Dallas Cowboys. After all the reports suggesting the wide receiver left the Pittsburgh Steelers due to his bad reputation, the quarterback gave a strong response to all the doubters.

“That’s why I don’t think you should ever really listen to what somebody else says about somebody. I think you should judge everyone, not judge but find out for yourself who they are and allow them to reveal their character to you. The guy’s been great. He’s been phenomenal.”

Jerry Jones went all-in pursuing a trade for Pickens so the Cowboys can finally be Super Bowl contenders. The offense looks very explosive with Prescott, GP, CeeDee Lamb, and Jake Ferguson.

Why did the Pittsburgh Steelers trade George Pickens?

The Pittsburgh Steelers reportedly traded George Pickens because they disagreed with his behavior on and off the field. Additionally, they were not willing to pay him $35 million per year in a contract extension.

However, according to Dak Prescott, all the rumors about Pickens’ personality are false, so he has no concerns about potential issues in the Cowboys’ locker room.

“He’s a guy that loves football, loves his teammates. He’s been excited every day that he’s been here. He’s been early. So, no concerns on the personal matters of GP and anything about it. Just super excited that he’s on our team. He’s one of us. He’s a brother. It’s just about continuing to grow and make sure we’re putting the best out there. That’s his approach.”
