In a bold and heartfelt announcement that has resonated across the sports world, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has officially declared quarterback Dak Prescott as having “successfully made it” among the elite stars of the National Football League. Speaking at a press conference held at The Star in Frisco, Jones lavished praise on his franchise quarterback, citing not just Prescott’s impressive on-field accomplishments, but also his leadership, resilience, and role as a face of the Cowboys’ future.
“For everything he’s done, for everything he represents — Dak Prescott *is* a star in this league. He’s made it,” Jones said, addressing a crowd of reporters and team personnel. “There’s no more debate. He’s earned every ounce of respect he gets, and he’s proven himself as a leader of men and a winner in this league.”
Prescott, who has been under center for the Cowboys since being drafted in the fourth round of the 2016 NFL Draft, has overcome significant adversity during his career. From stepping in as a rookie and leading the team to a 13–3 record, to his incredible comeback from a gruesome ankle injury in 2020, Prescott’s journey has been nothing short of remarkable. Under his leadership, the Cowboys have consistently been playoff contenders, and his stats regularly place him among the top quarterbacks in the NFL.
But Jones emphasized that being a “star” isn’t solely about numbers.
“It’s not just the touchdown passes or the wins — though he’s got plenty of those,” Jones added. “It’s about how you carry yourself. It’s about standing tall when things are tough, being the first one in and the last one out, and inspiring the men around you. Dak does that every single day.”
Prescott, who sat quietly beside Jones during the announcement, appeared humbled by the words of support. “I’ve always said I’m just doing what I love and trying to be the best version of myself for this team,” Prescott said. “To hear Mr. Jones say that — it means a lot. But for me, the job’s not done. I want to bring a championship to Dallas. That’s the goal.”
The 2024 season saw Prescott leading one of the NFL’s most potent offenses, showing a refined command of the game, poise in high-pressure situations, and a chemistry with his receivers that rivaled the league’s best. Beyond the field, Prescott has also become a prominent advocate for mental health awareness and community engagement, adding to his growing legacy as more than just an athlete.
Jones’s announcement comes at a time when many analysts and fans have started to echo similar sentiments about Prescott’s place in the league. Despite past criticism and doubts about his long-term ceiling, the quarterback has now won over even some of his harshest critics.
“This is a man who’s bet on himself time and time again,” said Jones. “And he’s won. The Dallas Cowboys are lucky to have him — and the NFL is better because of players like Dak Prescott.”
While Jones’s declaration might not carry official league weight, it does signal a definitive turning point in how Prescott is viewed by the organization that drafted him. It also reflects a growing consensus that Dak is no longer a player with “potential,” but rather one who has arrived — and firmly taken his place among the league’s marquee names.
As the Cowboys prepare for another postseason run, Prescott will once again carry the hopes of one of the NFL’s most passionate fanbases on his shoulders. But with the unwavering support of ownership, the belief of his teammates, and his own unrelenting drive, it’s clear that Dak Prescott has not only made it — he’s here to stay.
