Heartwarming: Dallas Cowboys star Dak Prescott revealed the reason why he always Writes to His Late Mother Before Every Game

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.
