Dak Prescott and the Cowboys did not end up empty-handed after all this season.
At last night's NFL Honors show, Prescott won the "Walter Payton Man of the Year" award, which the NFL calls its "highest acclaim."
Prescott said in his speech, "Thank you to the NFL, to Commissioner [Roger] Goodell, to Nationwide for recognizing the impact that we as NFL players can have off the field
To the Payton family, I have such appreciation for Walter, for your beautiful family that continues the legacy through your charitable work. "That's something I've always said, that I hope that when I finish this game, they can say he was a helluva player, but he was a much better person."
Prescott is the fourth Cowboys player to receive the Walter Payton award, following Hall of Fame quarterbacks Roger Staubach (1978) and Troy Aikman (1997), and former teammate Jason Witten (2012).
