Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott announces birth of his second daughter

As you can see, congratulations are in order for the Prescott family. It’s a wonderful time for them, welcoming a new addition as the Cowboys quarterback prepares to return to the field after suffering a season-ending injury in 2024. Everything is looking up.

In addition to his second daughter, Prescott’s football family added a new member this offseason. The Cowboys traded for wide receiver George Pickens from the Pittsburgh Steelers. Finding a second option to CeeDee Lamb was an offseason priority for the team, and they feel as if their mission was accomplished.

We got to hear Prescott’s thoughts on Pickens for the first time earlier in May. He provided a nice breakdown of the skillset coming to Dallas after doing some personal tape study. Overall, you can tell Prescott is happy with the move.

“We’ve connected,” Prescott said. “I’m excited. You turn on the tape, you see a guy that can catch the football. You put the football anywhere in his vicinity, very strong hands. More than a 50/50 catcher. He thinks it’s his ball when it’s in the air. I’m excited for him. I know we needed some help at that position. … It’s hard to double-team two guys. … I think we’re putting together a nice group of weapons.”

When Prescott was healthy last year, the wide receiver position fell short at times. Lamb was the exception, turning into one of the NFL’s top players. Both of those guys just received massive contract extensions from the Cowboys ahead of the 2024 season.

George Pickens is expected to completely change the dynamic in 2025. He instantly shifts into the WR2 role and, based on the description from Dak Prescott, brings something different than CeeDee Lamb. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer will be able to open up the playbook a little bit, letting his quarterback throw a few more passes downfield this season.
