Cowboys QB Dak Prescott Responds To: “If There’s An Increased Sense Of Urgency To Win?”

Dak Prescott was the Dallas Cowboys’ young, promising quarterback prospect not so long ago.

The 29-year-old Prescott is entering his seventh NFL season and is aware that time is running out for him to succeed on the field. The quarterback was questioned about if turning 30 before the start of the following season has made him feel more pressure to succeed.

Cowboys QB Dak Prescott Responds To: “If There’s An Increased Sense Of Urgency To Win?”

The quarterback of America’s team, who is entering his eighth season with the Dallas Cowboys, looks to be hungry for a championship despite not having played in a conference championship game in any of his seven-year career.

Dallas’ four postseason berths have been aided by the 2016 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, who will turn 30 later this month. The two-time Pro Bowl selection was bluntly questioned by Nick Eatman of DallasCowboys.com: “Does turning 30 make it even more urgent for you to win?”

“One thousand percent,” Prescott told reporters on Saturday, via Nick Eatman from the Cowboys’ team website. “Just understanding injuries and what I’ve been throughout my career and understanding that you don’t have forever to play this game. I’m blessed for every moment that I get. Just trying to take it with a sense of urgency.”

“I’ve always felt older I guess. Just being 30 doesn’t necessarily bother me,” he said.

Knowing that I am the old guy, going into Year 8, seeing some of the young guys, some of the rookies and seeing the difference in eight years. It’s fun and challenging at times, knowing that I stay connected and stay in the now with what’s cool and whatnot.

But this game is beautiful. It doesn’t matter how old you are because you play this game like a kid.”

The veteran is determined to recover from a relatively disappointing 2022 season in which he led the league with 15 interceptions and brought a championship to the Lone Star State.
