Overview
- The Pro Football Writers of America named Dak Prescott its 2026 Good Guy Award winner on May 28, and he is the first player in Dallas Cowboys history to receive the national honor.
- The Good Guy Award is given annually by media members to the NFL player judged most professional and accessible in helping reporters do their jobs.
- Dallas PFWA vice president Calvin Watkins praised Prescott's availability and trust with beat writers, and Dallas media had already named their local Good Guy award for Prescott in 2025.
- Prescott has been active in the offseason, attending voluntary workouts that began April 27 and May mini-camps, and he is expected to report for upcoming OTAs.
- Earlier this spring the Cowboys restructured Prescott's contract to free $30.5 million in cap space, a move owner Jerry Jones framed as part of an urgent plan to improve results in 2026 and one that puts more leadership pressure on Prescott to translate professionalism into wins.
