Talking about Prescott, Romo said, “I think Dak Prescott is going to have a fantastic year. I think he’s shown he’s more than capable of playing great football consistently throughout a year. I just think it’s gonna be a little different, because the weapons won’t be quite as dynamic. They’ll still be very good, but I do think that you’ll see teams play them just a little bit differently.”

Dak Prescott would need to adjust to the players around him. The Cowboys lost Amari Cooper in the offseason. As a result, Prescott will be required to step up and help to elevate the game of CeeDee Lamb as well. Hopefully, Dak Prescott will be able to have a good season for the Cowboys.
