During the first week of Cowboys training camp, the team commenced with non-padded practices. Notable rookie George Pickens showed promise, quickly assimilating into the offense, overcoming an early miscommunication with quarterback Dak Prescott. After a brief scare from a hit that caused a minor calf cramp, he returned to practice without restrictions. Meanwhile, second-round pick Donovan Ezeiruaku has been impressively working with the first-team unit, successfully penetrating the backfield and showcasing his potential as a contributor on the roster this season.
On his first target of training camp on Tuesday, he wasn't on the same page as quarterback Dak Prescott when he kept running on what Prescott thought was a curl route. Since then, each target for Pickens has found his hands.
It's about making sure he feels comfortable in the system. When you're an elite player like him that can create separation, it makes that whole deal easier.
Maybe not a surprise, but an eye-opening development in the rookie class has been second-round pick Donovan Ezeiruaku not only getting a healthy amount of work with the first-team unit through three days, but finding a lot of success in penetrating the backfield.
He jumped off the field.
