Dak Prescott is focused on one thing: winning a championship. The Dallas Cowboys quarterback expressed his determination during a press conference, stating that achieving this goal is more important to him than the legacy he will leave in the NFL. “I want to win a championship,” Prescott said. “The legacy… will take care of itself. I have to stay where my feet are.”
As he prepares for his 10th season with the Cowboys, Prescott knows the pressure is on. He is the second-longest tenured starting quarterback in the franchise’s history, following Hall of Famer Troy Aikman. Despite leading the Cowboys to five playoff appearances, Prescott has yet to reach the NFC Championship game.
In recent years, injuries have plagued Prescott, causing him to miss games in four of the last five seasons. Last year, he underwent surgery on his hamstring, sidelining him for nine games. However, as the 2025 season approaches, he seems optimistic. Prescott signed a four-year, $240 million extension before last season, which has already been restructured.
He shared his excitement about the team’s offseason activities, noting the positive communication with new head coach Brian Schottenheimer and the quarterback room. “I’m healthy. Excited as hell,” he said, highlighting the good vibes he’s feeling as training progresses.
With a new head coach at the helm, Prescott hopes this season will be different. The Cowboys are looking to bring a Lombardi Trophy back to Texas, and Prescott is ready to lead the charge.
