Dak Prescott, the quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys, honors his mother Peggy Prescott, who passed away in 2013 following a bаttle with colon cаncer, before and after every score.
In a lengthy interview with ESPN’s E:60, which will air its inaugural installment of the weekly program on Mother’s Day at 9 a.m. EST, Prescott says he still sends mom a letter before each game as a way of showing his appreciation.
He says, “She’s the person I vent to.” “I pull out my phone and start writing,” the speaker said.
It’s an opportunity for him to come full circle and remember his childhood in a trailer park in Princeton, Louisiana; it’s also a chance for him to think back on his mother picking him up from practice when she was unwell.
In 2013, while in his sophomore year of college, Prescott took a leave of absence during the middle of the football season to take care of Peggy.
Regarding his choice to drop out of school, he explains, “I meаn, I had to help her up and help her walk to the bathroom at those times.” “And that was the turning point.”
He continued, saying, “I knew before I even picked up the phone that she had passed away.” It was difficult because she is no longer here. It’s difficult.
