Dak Prescott working out with young Cowboys WRs is a beautiful sight

Everyone is expecting Dak Prescott to bounce back in 2023. The Dallas Cowboys quarterback wasn’t poor last season by any stretch, but critics understandably held it against him that he led the NFL in interceptions despite starting just 12 games.

Not every INT was on Prescott, but most Cowboys fans would admit he was more reckless with the football than we had seen the previous six seasons.

Of course, Prescott still put together a good season. 2,860 yards and 23 touchdowns in 12 games is nothing to sneeze at. Dallas finished 8-4 in those games and boasted the No. 1 scoring offense in the league at 32.5 points per game.

The great thing about Dak is that he’ll work to better himself this offseason. Not that there’s significant room for improvement, but it speaks volumes he vowed to reporters that he’ll cut down on the turnovers in 2023.

Wouldn’t you know it, that’s exactly what’s happening.

Blogging The Boys’ very own Brandon Loree discovered an Instagram of Prescott putting in the work with some of the Cowboys’ young pass-catchers, including Jalen Tolbert, Jake Ferguson, Dennis Houston, and return specialist KaVontae Turpin.

This is awesome on so many levels. For starters, it’s fantastic to see the band back together in the dog days of the offseason. Would it have been cool to see CeeDee Lamb and Peyton Hendershot with the squad? No doubt, but they’ll probably link up with Prescott down the road.

Michael Gallup, meanwhile, is recovering from arthroscopic surgery on his right knee and ankle he underwent after the season. The procedure was more of a clean-up than anything else, and it’s reassuring it wasn’t performed on Gallup’s surgically-repaired ACL. Gallup should be all systems go for training camp.

In the meantime, Prescott is taking advantage of the time to build chemistry with the Cowboys’ secondary pass-catchers. Ferguson’s presence is even more significant after Dalton Schultz signed with Houston in free agency.

Further, it’s great to see Tolbert working with QB1 after what amounted to a redshirt rookie season. The 2022 third-round pick hardly saw the field as a rookie — not uncommon for middle-round WRs — and there’s hope he’ll bounce back in Year 2 after acclimating himself to the ins and outs of the game.

The same goes for Dennis Houston, a 2022 undrafted free agent who popped throughout the offseason. He was waived after Week 2, but was re-signed to the practice squad, where he spent most of the year. After the season, the Cowboys signed Houston to a reserve/future contract.

As for Turpin, might we see more offensive reps for the Pro Bowl returner? That remains to be seen, but it’s notable that he’s working with Prescott. Come the offseason program, their chemistry should be on-point, too.

What a pleasant surprise this was.
