Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones praised quarterback Dak Prescott on Friday for coming forward about suffering from anxiety and depression due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the death of his older brother Jace in April.
According to ESPN's Ed Werder, Jones said the following about his franchise quarterback on 105.3 The Fan: "Dak's willingness to be transparent and share his difficult times and share it with such stature and class—it just, you always go back to that word 'leadership.'"
