Dak Prescott, the Dallas Cowboys quarterback, has opened up about how fatherhood has reshaped his perspective on life and football. Entering his 10th NFL season, Prescott has embraced being a “girl dad” to daughters MJ and Aurora, a role he cherishes alongside his fiancée, Sarah Jane Ramos.

He acknowledged that past adversities, including career-altering injuries, deepened his gratitude for the present. Prescott shared that fatherhood hasn’t introduced entirely new lessons but has reinforced his understanding of unconditional love and the importance of savoring life’s small moments.
