It had the potential to blow up, but Dak, as always, made sure everything was smooth throughout the season.
When the Dallas Cowboys traded for George Pickens last offseason, many were unsure if the risk was worth taking.
One, because of Pickens' behavior while with the Pittsburgh Steelers, both on and off the field, and the other was how he would mesh with No. 1 receiver CeeDee Lamb.
All the right things were said in the offseason by Lamb, with No. 88 constantly stating that they are both No. 1's, but the true test was when the football began.
And it was Pickens who was the best, totaling 1,429 yards and 9 TDs, compared to Lamb's 1,077 yards and 3 TDs.
Given that this was CeeDee's offense, all eyes were on how he would handle having not just another "guy" on offense, but one that is seen around the league as a No. 1 weapon.
Well, things went smoothly with the pair, the best of friends, but as Cowboys legend Troy Aikman pointed out, Dak Prescott also handled what could have been a sticky situation, rather well.
"I think Dak handles it really well," Aikman said on ESPN’s GetUp. "Him being a veteran guy, and also his leadership skills comes out in those situations because all receivers, they do want the ball, but I think Dak manages that exceptionally well.
"Those two (Lamb and Pickens) by all accounts worked well together and then, of course, the play on the field spoke for itself. I think it was a good setup, and Dak, again, is a facilitator, and he's done a great job of it."
Dak has done it time and time again in his career, having to deal with off-field things that could have impacted him, with Dez Bryant wanting the ball, Ezekiel Elliott's holdout, his own contract talks, and his owner's constant comments making headlines.
The Pickens and Lamb dynamic could have rocked the boat, but it was clear early on that both receivers genuinely love each other, and neither cared who got the ball.
That is what made the offense so good last season: there was no I in team; it was a collective, led by Pickens and Lamb, with Prescott tying it all together.
Something that he might not get enough credit for.
