Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs received high praise from his head coach Mike McCarthy after his showing during minicamp drills. Diggs has been making a name for himself since joining the Cowboys, and the 2021 campaign was one scary highlight reel. His activity in their defense made life difficult for any opposing QBs to make their regulation throws toward their receivers. On Tuesday, during the minicamp’s red zone drills against his QB and Cowboys franchise player Dak Prescott [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/dak-prescott/], Diggs wasn’t holding anything back. Despite having found evolution to his own game, Prescott was unable to get past Diggs on a goal-line scramble and gave away an interception. Apart from his interceptions, Diggs also managed two pass deflections during the drills. While talking about Diggs’ skillset, head coach Mike McCarthy summons the name of Pro Football Hall of Famer DB Deion Sanders. He states [https://www.si.com/nfl/cowboys/news/dallas-trevon-diggs-deion-sanders-dak-prescott-interception-minicamp-notebook#gid=ci02a3b83aa0002556&pid=f945b8aa-1764-410b-a6cf-f0def94d8349], “When the ball went up in the air, you just assumed Deion was coming down with it. Diggs has some of that, too.” It is a glowing endorsement for one of the young stars of this Cowboys team. HOW FAR CAN TREVON DIGGS CARRY THE DALLAS COWBOYS IN 2022? After leading the league with 11 INTs last season [https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/D/DiggTr00.htm], Diggs will look to consolidate himself. The fact is even more astonishing for NFL fans because Diggs isn’t a natural CB but was earlier a WR during his time at Alabama. Amongst the scariest things is the fact that he isn’t a fully finished player and looks eager to learn more about his role. Super Bowl 26 Years Ago [https://www.essentiallysports.com/nfl-news-dallas-cowboys-rank-no-1-in-the-nfl-despite-having-won-their-last-super-bowl-26-years-ago/] While talking about his work with the Cowboys in 2021, Diggs states [https://www.dallascowboys.com/news/trevon-diggs-says-there-s-plenty-to-work-on], “I’m just trying to stack success, keep grinding, working on the little things and focus on next season. Last season happened, but I’m on to next year.” It seems he is under no illusion about the upcoming season being easy and wants the ball to continue rolling.

<h2>Dallas Cowboys: 2024 Roster, Players, Schedule, Super Bowl Wins and More</h2>
Founded by Clint Murchinson Jr, the Dallas Cowboys first saddled up in 1960 and soon became the Americaâ€™s Team. Well, thatâ€™s the name they are called by! The franchise is a professional American football team based in the Dallas â€“ Fort Worth metroplex. The Cowboys are the most expensive franchise in NFL history, and currently belong to the NFC East division.Â 

<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2224233" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/imago1035402245h.jpg" alt="" />

Having over 8.5 million fans online and a â€˜Lone Starâ€™ on their helmet, the team is one of the most popular franchises in the league. The Cowboys play currently at Arlington, Texas, and their practice facility is in Frisco, Texas. This Blue and White squad, which has won 5 Super Bowl Championships (1971, 1977, 1992, 1993, 1995), and 24 division championships, are known for a large, loyal fanbase and a rich history of success.
<h2>A look into the history of the Dallas Cowboys</h2>
The Dallas Cowboys' story began in 1960 with Clint Murchison Jr. founding the team. He brought professional football to Dallas after overcoming many hurdles, including a bitter rivalry with Washington Redskins owner, George Preston Marshall. This rivalry happened because when Murchison Jr. was determined to bring an NFL team to Dallas, he needed a unanimous vote from the leagueâ€™s owners. And Marshall, whom he had a falling out, was the one blocking him. Hence, in a clever move, Murchison paid just $2500 to get Marshallâ€™s support, and that vote secured Dallas its own NFL team. And then after difficult negotiations, Murchison finally brought the Cowboys to life, marking the start of the historic franchise.

However, in terms of performance, despite early struggles, they didn't find real success until 1966 when they began an incredible 20-season winning streak. This streak included 18 playoff appearances and five Super Bowl trips. During the 70s and 80s, they became â€œAmerica's Team,â€ with legends like Roger Staubach and Tony Dorsett leading the charge. Then by 1989, Jerry Jones bought the Cowboys, replacing long-time coach Tom Landry with Jimmy Johnson. Jones quickly rebuilt the team, leading them to multiple Super Bowl wins in the '90s, securing their reputation as a powerhouse. Today, the Cowboys are the most valuable sports franchise in the world, worth over $9 billion, selling out stadiums and continuously adding to their legacy. Their current home, AT&amp;T Stadium, has become an iconic venue for one of football's most storied franchises.
<h2>Notable milestones and achievements</h2>
The Dallas Cowboys have been to Super Bowls eight times and have won five (VI, XII, XXVII, XXVIII, and XXX). In addition to that, they also have won 8 NFC championships so far. However, the most notable seasons for the team were in the 1970s and 1990s. During the 1970s period, the Cowboys played in 6 NFC championships, and won 105 regular season games.Â

Besides it in the 1990s, quarterback Troy Aikman, running back Emmitt Smith, and wide receiver Michael Irvin led the Cowboysâ€™ offense to a different level. This triplet helped the franchise to a 52-12 regular season record and 3 Super Bowl championships in 4 years, winning Super Bowls XXVII, XXVIII, and XXX.Â 
<h2>Major rivalries of the Dallas Cowboys</h2>
Dallas Cowboys vs Washington Commanders: Due to their founder Clint Murchison Jr.â€™s bad blood with Washingtonâ€™s then owner, George Preston Marshall, the rivalry has been established, and is continued till date. They have faced off each other 128 times, with the Dallas Cowboys winning 78 games and the Washington Commanders winning 48 games.

Dallas Cowboys vs Philadelphia Eagles: This is a 63 year-long intra-divisional rivalry with the two teams contained in the same division since 1961. They have met each other 130 times, in which the Eagles have won 56 games, while the Cowboys have 74 games in hand.

Dallas Cowboys vs New York Giants: Perhaps their 31-31 tie in their first face off has led to this rivalry, besides the NFC East factor. They have played 124 times with each other. Cowboys have won 75 while Giants have won 47, with two ties till date.

Led by head coach Mike McCarthy, this year too, quarterback Dak Prescott is likely to be the starter of the team. He will be backed by Cooper Rush and Trey Lance. Supporting him in 2024 will be these starters, provided they remain injury-free.Â

But that did not stop Dak who went on to lead the Cowboys to a 13-3 record and the NFC East title in his rookie year.

They did lose to the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nfl/green-bay-packers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Green Bay Packers</a> in the playoffs but Prescott was named to the Pro Bowl and even voted the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year ahead of teammate Ezekiel Elliott, receiving 28 of 50 votes.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Dak Prescott Record</h2>

Prescott finished his 2016 rookie regular season with a record 11 games with an over 100 NFL passer rating, breaking the rookie record of nine games set by Russell Wilson in 2012.
He tied the Ben Roethlisberger 2004 rookie record of winning 13 games as a starter.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Dak Prescott Net Worth</h2>
The Cowboys number 4 reportedly has a net worth of $2 million as per <a href="https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-athletes/nfl/dak-prescott-net-worth/#:~:text=Dak%20Prescott%20net%20worth%3A%20Dak,Sulphur%2C%20Louisiana%20in%20July%201993." target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Celebrity Net Worth</a>. However, we suspect that they haven't taken into account his massive $31.4 million franchise tag which was activated prior to the 2020 NFL season.

In addition to that, it is being reported that Dak earns five-times his on-field salary from his endorsement deals with Adidas, Pepsi and other brands. He earns further revenue from his licensing deals. So his net worth remains shrouded in a bit of a grey cloud.

Deion Sanders

Who is Deion Sanders? Deion Sanders is a former NFL cornerback, MLB outfielder, and present-day college football coach. Nicknamed Prime Time and &#8216;Neon Deion&#8217; during his collegiate football career, Sanders won 2 Super Bowl rings during his 14 years in the National Football League. Teams like the Atlanta Falcons, the San Francisco 49ers, the Dallas Cowboys, the Washington Redskins, and the Baltimore Ravens witnessed his prowess. Former NFL player and sportscaster Deion Sanders visits the SiriusXM set at Super Bowl 50 Radio Row at the Moscone Center on February 4, 2016 in San Francisco, California. (Photo by Cindy Ord/Getty Images for SiriusXM) In 2020, Prime Time entered the coaching hemisphere as he took charge of the Jackson State Tigers football program. Sanders turned the Tigers&#8217; losing record into back-to-back winning years and South West Athletic Conference Championships. Sanders left the JSU program to take the University of Colorado head coaching job for the Buffaloes in December 2022. Deion Sanders&#8217; Early Life, Family, and College Life Born on August 9, 1967, Deion Sanders resided in Fort Myers Florida with his parentsâ€”Connie Sanders and Mims Sanders. Since he was a kid, Sanders had a strong inclination toward athletics and played a variety of sports like football, baseball, and track and field. However, his family was mostly inclined toward football as his dad coached the local high school team. At the age of two, his parents separated, and Sanders&#8217; mother later got married to Willie Knight. While Connie Sanders has been an inspiration for Deion Sanders, his step-dad Knight has played a big role in influencing the young Sanders. Prime Time attended North Fort Myers High School and later continued his journey at Florida State University to pursue his dreams in football and baseball. In 1985, Prime Time entered the Florida High School Association All-Century Team. He played for the Florida State football program from 1985 to 1988 after rejecting an offer to play baseball for the Kansas City Royals, being selected in the sixth round (1985). April 3, 2004 &#8211; U.S. &#8211; KRT STAND ALONE SPORTS PHOTO SLUGGED: FSUSPRINGGAME KRT PHOTOGRAPH BY PHIL SEARS/TALLAHASSEE DEMOCRAT (April 3) TALLAHASSEE, FL &#8212; Former Florida State University and NFL American Football Herren USA star Deion Sanders talks to the media during halftime at the Seminoles Garnet &amp; Gold spring game in Tallahassee, Florida, on Saturday, April 3, 2004. Sanders, one of over 30 former Seminoles attending the game, discussed plans to get former FSU student-athletes more involved with the university and its future student-athletes. (cdm) 2004 News Archive &#8211; April 3, 2004 &#8211; ZUMAm67 During the four years at Florida State, the Seminoles used Deion Sanders in their football, baseball, and track programs. In his final two years, Prime Time became a back-to-back unanimous All-American cornerback. Deion also made the third All-American team in 1986. Sanders left his mark in the history books as he broke Fred Biletnikoff&#8217;s interception return record with his 100-yard return and touchdown. Sanders also added the Jim Thorpe Award to his collection in 1988. Florida State even retired Sanders&#8217; No. 2 jersey after his iconic interception in the 1989 Sugar Bowl against Auburn with five seconds left on the clock, clinching the 13-7 win. Prime graduated with 14 interceptions, which was the second-highest in Florida State history at the time. An interesting fact in Deion Sanders&#8217; life concerning his name is the addition of the alphabet &#8216;e&#8217; in &#8216;Deion&#8217;. During his appearance in 2017 on the Rich Eisen show, Sanders disclosed how his name is &#8220;Dion&#8221; on legal documents. Referring to the same, he said, &#8220;I spelled it D-E-I-O-N. When we were kids we knew the Old McDonald song, Old McDonald had a farm. What is the next line? E I, E I O. So I implemented the E I O N. I just did it. I have to show it and when I have to show credit cards to a company that when I go through the airport. Every once in a while, somebody say, `You gotta go back to the front desk. This is not your name.&#8217; I just look at them.&#8221; Deion Sanders: Marriage, Custodial Battles, and Suicide Attempt In 1989, Deion Sanders married model Carolyn Chambers. They had been dating for a year, and for them, marriage was the next step in their relationship. Chambers and Sanders have two children togetherâ€”son Deion Sanders Jr and daughter Deiondra Sanders. Deiondra, as per her LinkedIn profile, has been the director at Sc3 Sports Management for communications since June 2019. On the other hand, Deion Sanders Jr. entered the realm of football in his college days at Southern Methodist University. But, later on, he shifted his career toward fashion. Further, he released a rap track called &#8220;Swaggin&#8221; and has been in the music industry for a while now. His latest songs &#8220;Money Old&#8221; and &#8220;Kandy&#8221; were released in 2022. Alas! The relationship between Deion Sanders and Carolyn did not last, and they parted ways in 1998. While the reasons for their split were never made clear, and it was reported that the separation was due to &#8220;unresolved issues,&#8221; it led to some serious setbacks in Deion Sanders&#8217; life. The court, post-divorce, granted Carolyn Chambers the custody of their two kids, and Sanders was able to visit them as he liked. This phase was very difficult in Deion Sanders&#8217; life. Not only was his marriage falling apart, but his father was quite ill. The stress and depression from these traumatic events pushed the coach to take a consequential step. According to the Tampa Bay Times, Sanders tried to commit suicide in 1997. He drove his car off a cliff in Cincinnati. Concerning this, Sanders said, &#8220;I attempted suicide, but God had his hands on me, and it was like 40-30 foot drop.&#8221; As he felt &#8220;empty&#8221;, he recalled how this incident helped him to connect with God. This brush with mortality was explained in-depth by Sanders in his autobiography &#8220;Money &amp; Sex: How Success Almost Ruined My Life&#8221; in 1999 as he decided that life is worth living and became religious. In the same year, he remarried. His second marriage was with model Pilar Sanders. They were married for over three decades and share three childrenâ€”sons Shedeur, Shilo Sanders, and daughter Shelomi Sanders. Credits: Imago Shilo Sanders is a talented football player who received a scholarship for the same from Florida State. Right now, he plays as a safety for the Colorado Buffaloes. Shedeur, Sanders&#8217; third son, is also a football protÃ©gÃ©. His career took off as a QB in high school and carried on in his college life. Initially, he had committed to joining Florida Atlantic University but eventually chose Jackson State. Currently, he is the quarterback in the same team in which his brother is a safety and his dad is the coach. In the Sanders clan, Shelomi Sanders is the youngest and is an eminent basketball player. Just like her brothers, she is quite athletic. The evidence of the same was provided when, during her JSU debut in 2022, she sank a three-point shot. However, in 2013, he parted ways with her as well. This time, though, the custody of the three kids remained with Prime Time. After his split from Pilar Sanders, he got into a relationship with Tracey Edmonds. The duo first met in 2012 and eventually got engaged in 2019. However, soon, the two decided to go their ways in December 2023. The split was made public through an Instagram post uploaded by Edmonds. The most recent update concerning Deion Sanders&#8217; love life has been a rumored relationship with Latina fitness model Qiana Aviles. While nothing has been confirmed from the coach&#8217;s side, Aviles was spotted at one of the Colorado Buffaloes&#8217;Â games What is Deion Sanders&#8217; net worth in 2024? According to Celebrity Net Worth, Deion Sanders has a net worth of around $45 million. In his high school days, Deion Sanders was offered $75000 to participate in Minor League Baseball. However, he took a different route and went to college at Florida State. This decision eventually paved the way for Sanders to amass big earnings. Starting from the 14-year NFL glory, the coach has accumulated 45.650 million dollars and his baseball earnings add up to approximately $13.3 million. Therefore, his total career earnings as a sports star are around $58 million. However, that is not where Deion Sanders stopped with his career. He went on to become one of the eminent coaches in the world of football. CBS analyst Deion Sanders on the sidelines during the NFL game between the Arizona Cardinals and the Minnesota Vikings at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. (Credit: Getty Images) The evidence of the same was the four-year $1.2 million contract signed by Sanders in 2020 with the Jackson State Tigers. Soon though, Sanders&#8217; decision to join the Buffaloes program before his JSU contract expired needed him to buy out of his contract. That set him back by nearly $300,000. In addition to that, Sanders also had to pay Jackson State half of the remaining salary on his deal, as per the university&#8217;s athletic director Ashley Robinson. But, this setback was soon met with a positive, thanks to the current five-year contract signed with the Buffaloes worth $29.5 million. This turns out to be a salary of around $5.5 million per year. According to Sports Illustrated, this lucrative contract excludes potential bonuses and incentives.  The elements of Sanders&#8217; first-season contract worth $5.5 million  $500,000 for basic compensation  $1.75 million for radio, television, and other public appearances  $1.75 million for promotion and fundraising  $1.5 million for the development of the student-athletes  Apart from this, he has also worked as a TV sports analyst on channels like CBS, NFL Network, and Barstool Sports. This helped him earn an annual salary of $1 million, as per reports. Besides his love for sports, endorsement deals with brands like Nike, Pizza Hut, and American Express have helped him amass considerable wealth. Away from the gridiron, his autobiography, rap album, and reality shows have also added value to Sanders&#8217; net worth. His business savvy has allowed him to dabble in ventures like owning an arena football team and launching a fashion line. Deion Sanders Dabbles in College Baseball and Track Under head coach Mike Martin, Deion played baseball for the Seminoles, where he amassed a batting average of.331 in 1986 and stole 27 bases in his penultimate season. One memorable collegiate moment for Deion that he will never forget was when he competed in a 4*100 meter track relay as the Seminoles were playing Southern Mississippi in the conference semifinal baseball game. Deion Sander Professional NFL Career: Achievements and Accomplishments Deion Sanders is an athletic coalescence of a football defensive back and a baseball star outfielder. After a 4.2 and 4.29 40-yard timing in the 1989 NFL Scouting Combine, the Atlanta Falcons drafted Deion Sanders fifth overall. Sanders spent five seasons with the Dirty Birds in the NFC South before taking his talent to the Bay Area to join the San Francisco 49ers. Since his rookie days, Deion Sanders showcased his talent on the gridiron as he gathered a touchdown and recorded five interceptions. At one point, Deion was playing football for the Falcons and baseball for the Braves, and Atlanta was his house. He was the first to play two professional leagues on the same day when he played for the Falcons in 1992 and flew to Pittsburgh to play baseball the same day.
