Dak Prescott receives national PFWA Good Guy award before season opener
Summary

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott received the Pro Football Writers of America Good Guy award on September 2.

This marks the first time a Dallas player has earned the national accolade, following local chapter awards for Prescott in 2017 and 2019. Prescott previously served as a finalist for the national honor in 2024. The Cowboys are scheduled to begin their 2026 season on September 13 against the New York Giants.
