While this season could be huge for Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott amidst the conversation around him receiving a contract extension, there are some that believe he is not worth top dollar. Criticism has always been shot the way of Prescott, but one person who won’t stand for it is wide Cowboys wide receiver Brandin Cooks.
Cooks says he takes it “personally” when he hears disrespect thrown the way of his teammate according to Jon Machota of The Athletic.
“It’s blasphemy, it’s unbelievable,” Cooks said Wednesday. “The guy shows up every year, year in and year out. Putting up numbers, leading his team. He can’t do it all by himself. A lot of those great quarterbacks that I’ve been with, Tom (Brady) and Drew (Brees), don’t get me wrong, they won a lot of games, won a lot of Super Bowls, but they had a lot of help around them as well, right?”
“Us players around (Dak) also got to step up,” Cooks continued. “So when we hear that disrespect, I take that personally and as his teammates we should take that personally, because at the end of the day, somebody has got to be able to help him get over that hump so we can go win one.”
