After missing the postseason in the 2024 NFL season, CeeDee Lamb has watched the Dallas Cowboys undergo some major offseason changes.
The first decision their GM Jerry Jones made was parting ways with head coach Mike McCarthy after five seasons in Dallas. The former Packers coach was replaced by Brian Schottenheimer, the Cowboys’ previous offensive coordinator.
But the Cowboys have made some big player changes, too. Outside of All-Pro guard Zack Martin retiring, pairing Lamb with George Pickens may have been the biggest.
On Thursday, the Cowboys held their second day of organized team activities (OTAs), with both Lamb and Pickens in attendance for the voluntary practice. According to ESPN’s Todd Archer, after Lamb made a mistake and dropped for a few pushups, Pickens joined him in a show of support.
“CeeDee Lamb was unable to come up with a deep Dak Prescott pass and later dropped to do some pushups,” Archer wrote on X. “George Pickens did the pushups right alongside Lamb. First time I saw that.”
NFL fans appreciated Pickens’ moment with Lamb, taking to social media to leave their thoughts.
“Glad to see accountability is now measured in push-up reps. Super Bowl incoming,” one fan said.
“This means something to me,” added another.
“I think George Pickens is going to be a cowboy for the foreseeable future I’m ngl,” claimed a third.
“Omg we actually do have a culture brewing, idk how to feel,” wrote a fourth.
“George Pickens is going to be sooooo good in Dallas. Lamb and Pickens are going to feast,” commented a fifth.
“TEAM ACCOUNTABILTY!! If one person fails, we all fail! Gotta love to see that from newly acquired GP!” posted a sixth.
