In the world of football, quarterbacks are often the most talked-about players. They are the leaders on the field, responsible for calling the plays and directing the offense. And while there are many talented quarterbacks in the NFL, one surprising player leads all active signal-callers in a special category: Dak Prescott.
According to the NFL on FOX Podcast X, Prescott is currently the longest-tenured quarterback on his current team. This may come as a surprise to some, as there have been many high-profile quarterback changes in recent years. From Tom Brady leaving the New England Patriots for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to Matthew Stafford being traded from the Detroit Lions to the Los Angeles Rams, it seems like no quarterback is safe from a change of scenery.
But for Prescott, he has remained a constant for the Dallas Cowboys since he was drafted by the team in 2016. And while he may not have the same level of success as some of his peers, he has proven to be a reliable and consistent presence on the field.
As noted by the NFL on FOX Podcast X, Prescott‘s longevity with the Cowboys is a testament to his work ethic and dedication to the team. “Dak has been a leader for us since day one,” said Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy. “He’s a hard worker and a great teammate, and we’re lucky to have him.”
Dak is commited to the Cowboys
Prescott himself has also spoken about his commitment to the Cowboys, saying that he wants to be a part of the team for years to come. “I love playing for Dallas,” he said in a recent interview. “This is where I want to be, and I’m going to do everything I can to help this team win.”
Of course, Prescott is not the only quarterback who has stayed with his team for an extended period of time. Aaron Rodgers was with the Green Bay Packers for 18 seasons before being traded to the New York Jets ahead of this year’s NFL Draft. And while Prescott may now hold the title of longest-tenured quarterback on his current team, he knows that nothing is guaranteed in this league.
“I don’t take anything for granted,” he said. “I know that things can change quickly in this league, so I just try to focus on being the best player and teammate I can be.”
