Dallas Cowboys Star Gushes Over New Addition George Pickens
Heading into the 2025 season, the Dallas Cowboys are eager to return to prominence in the NFC. They made some notable roster upgrades in the offseason, and one key name seems to be fitting in just fine.
Following a rocky tenure with the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Cowboys decided to roll the dice and trade for wide receiver George Pickens. Though the off-field drama is a cause for concern, his talent on the outside is undeniable. Dallas is hoping the change of scenery will do him well as he forms one of the NFL's top receiver duos.
Through his first few days of training camp, Pickens seems to be fitting in with his new team. One player who is very excited to have him around is star receiver CeeDee Lamb. Following Wednesday's action, he had nothing but great things to say about his new partner.

"I'm glad he's here. He knows I love him," Lamb told reporters. "I tell him every day that I'm happy for him. I hope we go together for X amount of years. I don't care. I just know we're not fitting to do this for (only) one."

Later on, Lamb raved about Pickens' abilities on the field and how he can't wait for them to showcase their talents in a game setting.
"He's an incredible athlete, an incredible football player," Lamb continued. "His ability to go up and get the ball, you guys haven't seen it yet. But those days are literally coming. He's like a caged animal. And so am I."

Early on in his career, Lamb was flanked by another high-level receiver in Amari Cooper. However, that changed when Dallas decided to trade him to the Cleveland Browns in 2022. Now, Lamb once again has a viable running mate on the outside to help make life miserable for opposing defenses on a nightly basis.
With Dak Prescott returning from injury, the Cowboys are sure to return to doing most of their offensive damage in the air. Before getting hurt, Prescott was putting up MVP-level numbers with Lamb as his primary target. Now armed with another dynamic receiver, he has more than enough firepower to put up big numbers in 2025.
Entering a contract year, Pickens has a lot riding on this new chapter of his career. Based on Lamb's comments, he seems poised to change the narrative about him in the NFL.

49ers think former UFL star can be diamond in the rough for overhauled D-line
Every NFL team is hoping they can unearth that diamond in the rough talent that other teams passed up on. The 49ers might have one of those players in their 2025 training camp right now. San Francisco signed defensive lineman Bradlee Anae on Monday. The 6-foot-3, 260-pound defensive lineman starred in the UFL with the Birmingham Stallions during the 2025 campaign. Anae led the UFL with a 23.2 pass rush win rate, led all pass rushers with a 91.7 grade in true pass sets according to Pro Football Focus and was also in the top five in pressures and hurries. Anae registered 17 tackles, six tackles for loss, and five sacks with the Stallions. 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh is familiar with Anae, who spent time with the New York Jets' practice squad when Saleh was the Jets' head coach. "Bradlee, he came to us at the Jets from Dallas as a practice squad guy which gave us an opportunity to work with him. We were all really excited to work with him. We thought that he had a legit chance to make a really good roster and be in the d-line room in New York. "He tore his ACL during OTAs which set him back. I'm proud of him, he found his way. He had a really successful season. So, he's here and he's a good player. I'm not going to say who I compare him to, but he's a very smart, effective player. He's got great versatility, so it's a great opportunity for him. I hope he takes advantage of this," Saleh said. Anae began his career as a fifth-round selection in the 2020 NFL draft by the Dallas Cowboys. Anae played in 11 games during his first two years in the league, tallying two tackles in those appearances. The 26-year-old also spent time in the Atlanta Falcons' organization.
