The Dallas Cowboys have reasons to be optimistic about 2021. The side invested in their defense over the offseason and has several key starters returning for the upcoming season. But perhaps no one’s return has generated as much excitement in Dallas as that of star QB Dak Prescott.
The mercurial quarterback was unstoppable through the course of the first four games of the 2020 NFL season. But soon, Prescott and the Cowboys’ dreams of postseason success was brought to a halt.
In their Gameweek 5 matchup against the Washington Football Team, Prescott suffered a brutal leg injury which saw him sit out the rest of the season.

“So you’re Patrick Mahomes?,” asked Aaiden. The camera crew and Trevon Diggs couldn’t help but laugh at the awkward scenario that Dak Prescott was put in.
But, thankfully, Prescott being the good sport that he is played it off by asking the young fan whose jersey he was wearing. It was at this moment that it dawned on Aaiden that he was meeting his favorite QB.
Soon after, Prescott signed the little man’s jersey which read “not Patrick Mahomes.”
