DALLAS (105.3 The Fan) - For the second straight day, someone connected to the Cowboys has compared Dak Prescott to Tom Brady.
Cowboys COO Stephen Jones was the first to do it on Wednesday, following the team's press conference to announce the quarterback's new contract.
"Well, you want him in your foxhole, number one. The right guy has the biggest piece of the pie, as I said earlier today. He just checks every box in these key categories of leadership, (he has) this insatiable appetite to want to be the best, to outwork everybody. He's got that Michael Irvin quality to him, in terms of outworking (somebody) and competing," Jones said on 105.3 The Fan. "It's totally unfair to compare him to somebody like this, but, obviously, Tom Brady has that. He's just a fiery competitor... a winner and a leader. (He has) an insatiable appetite to be great."

Michael Irvin, the other player Jones also happened to compare Prescott to in the interview with us, made a similar statement about the Cowboys quarterback later Wednesday.
"We have the closest thing in the National Football League to Tom Brady at quarterback now. That's what we have. Because Dak Prescott has the ability to do what Tom does, and he has the leadership like Tom," Irvin said on Stephen A's World on ESPN. Dak Prescott, his leadership, and how these guys follow him, was well worth him becoming the highest-paid quarterback in NFL history. You got to make sure and measure, and account for these things. These are important things. You saw what they were like without him last year. I'm talking about the leadership he gives - that's where he's most-like Tom Brady. Very rarely in this National Football League do you have quarterbacks being the heart and soul of a football team."
Stephen A. Smith, of course, proceeded to go off on Irvin for comparing Prescott to the seven-time Super Bowl winner.
