No…it’s not a long shot (depending on how Pickens plays/behaves…not a small thing). But I think it’s silly to consider them the leaders in the clubhouse

of course we dont know but i would think they are asking CD to certainly be a leader...to be honest he and AJ kinda have the same hot spots...they can both go way left on you. Pickens is a wild card for sure.

Neither.... Bengals have the best receiver duo.

The NFL has no shortage of elite wide receiver pairings, but two duos stand out in 2025: the Dallas Cowboys’ CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens and the Philadelphia Eagles’ A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith.

Let’s compare them across production, skill sets, efficiency, and impact.

Career Production Comparison (Through 2024)​

CeeDee Lamb	520	6,655	39	12.8	81
George Pickens	184	2,978	13	16.2	48
A.J. Brown	487	7,624	54	15.7	90
DeVonta Smith	351	4,606	27	13.1	63

Key Takeaways:​
