Pickens spoke after practice about his "fresh start" in Dallas and how Prescott and Lamb have welcomed him in. He also couldn't help but take a jab at his old team in Pittsburgh. Pickens was asked about being typecast as a deep ball threat only and if he though he could expand his role in Dallas, and offered a succinct and telling response.

The first day of Cowboys training camp featured a couple of defensive players talking about contractual issues with the team, but a new member of the offense was in a more positive frame of mind.

He caught passes from the likes of Kenny Pickett, Mitch Trubisky, Mason Rudolph, Justin Fields and a 36-year-old Russell Wilson. It isn't a stretch to suggest he will be more productive with Prescott, especially since he is also playing alongside a game-changing wide receiver in CeeDee Lamb.
