Jones praised Pickens when speaking to reporters.
“Pickens was…I’ve never seen a performance like that. It was poetic the way he did those moves there. It was like he was in an opera or something. A ballet,” Jones said, via Pro Football Talk.
Dallas acquired Pickens from the Pittsburgh Steelers during the offseason and, so far, he has proven to be a boon for the offense. He has 58 catches for 908 yards and seven touchdowns, a career high.
