As Dak Prescott turns 30, Cowboys QB finds 'urgency' in everything

OXNARD, Calif. -- Dak Prescott turned 23 during his first training camp with the Dallas Cowboys in 2016. He was getting two snaps in team drills, splitting work with fellow backup QB Jameill Showers, and just trying to find his way.

In a matter of weeks, that would all change after injuries to backup Kellen Moore and then-starter Tony Romo, pushing Prescott to the QB1 role he has had ever since.

On Saturday, Prescott turns 30. He is the clear leader of the Cowboys, the last player remaining from the 2016 draft class with the departures of Ezekiel Elliott and Anthony Brown, and singularly focused on finding his way to the stage at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas after Super Bowl LVIII on Feb.
