Some in the Pittsburgh Steelers organization said it was Pickens’ behavior on the field and in the locker room that led head coach Mike Tomlin to finally give up on the talented receiver. The Cowboys traded for him in an effort to provide a reliable No. 2 receiver opposite CeeDee Lamb.
Despite Pickens’ reputation, the Cowboys immediately welcomed him with open arms. Both vice president Stephen Jones and Lamb himself claimed Pickens is a “No. 1” receiver.
Now a couple of days into minicamp and quarterback Dak Prescott is adding to the chorus of positivity surrounding the Cowboys’ newest weapon.
“I think that’s why you should never really listen to what somebody else says about somebody,” Prescott said about Pickens. “I think you should 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.

“It’s a guy that loves football, loves his teammates, and he’s been excited every day that he’s been there. He’s been early, too, so no concerns on the personal matters of G.P. or anything about it. I’m just super excited that he’s on our team. He’s one of us, and he’s our brother, and he’s all about continuing to grow and making sure he’s putting the best out there; and that’s his approach.”

Team USA’s No. 1 men’s beach volleyball squad defeated Lithuania, 2-0, in their opening match of the 5th Conseil International du Sport Militaire Military World Games on Copacabana Beach here July 17.
Navy Senior Chief Petty Officer John Goings of Jacksonville, Fla., and Coast Guard Petty Officer 2nd Class Zachary Walden of Cape Maine, N.J., prevailed by scores of 21-11 and 21-12 over Andrius Cesnauskas and Tomas Vievesis.
Walden delivered nine aces on his 28 service attempts and Goings converted 12 of his 15 attack attempts as the U.S. duo soared to victory in 38 minutes.
Walden, 26, a Coast Guard firefighter from Virginia Beach, Va., cherishes being a member of the U.S. Armed Forces’ inaugural CISM beach volleyball team.
“It’s huge to be in Rio, the epicenter of beach volleyball outside the U.S.,” Walden said. “It’s the experience of a lifetime and a career highlight already.”
Team USA No. 1 will play the other five countries in their group and the top two teams will advance to the medal rounds.
“I think we have a pretty solid chance” Walden said. “The U.S. and Brazil, internationally on the pro tours, are the premiere teams. That should carry down into our lower levels. We have a pretty good shot against the other countries.”
Air Force Tech Sgt. David Dean of Duke Air Field, Fla., and Army Sgt. Gary Ang of Schofield Barracks, Hawaii, will compete as the No. 2 U.S. men’s team.
On the women’s side, Coast Guard Lt. Cmdr. Kerry Karwan of Alameda, Calif., will team with Navy Lt. Cmdr. Lauren Nilsen of Stuttgart, Germany, as the No. 1 U.S. duo.
Coast Guard Lt. Mary Arvidson of Air Station Corpus Christi, Texas, and Air Force 1st Lt. Brooke Cultra of Ramstein, Germany, will compete as Team USA’s No. 2 squad.
Beach volleyball will be played every day on Copacabana Beach throughout the games.

Under head coach Chris Siemers, the Mines men’s cross country team claimed its fourth NCAA Division II championship in 2024 after sweeping the RMAC and NCAA Regional titles, as well. The Orediggers were undefeated during the season, and had six all-Americans at the NCAA Championships.
