DALLAS COWBOYS
Dak Prescott spoke on Wednesday about the tragic passage of his older brother, Jace … and the Dallas Cowboys QB said emotionally, “it’s hard, of course.”
“He meant a lot to my family, meant a lot to me,” the 27-year-old reporter told his first news conference since Jace’s death. “He’s part of the reason I’m a quarterback.”
“When I was a little kid, he’s the reason I first started throwing football.”
Jace – one of Dak’s two older brothers – died suddenly at the age of 31 this past April. The family did not disclose the cause of death.
Roof was clearly torn over the loss. In fact, it took the QB almost four months to make it public about everything … reporters said Wednesday that he’s now making it his life’s mission to carry out his brother’s legacy.
“It’s been a difficult year,” Dak said. “It has been a difficult year for me personally. It has been a difficult year for my family. It has been a difficult year for this country and this world, of course. That it has all been difficult.”
Dak says he relied on his Cowboys teammates and his other family members to get him through everything … adding, “I have a great family to count on, to lean on. Great supporters here, great teammates. Great coaches . “
As we reported earlier … Dak and Jace were extremely close – the two celebrated together in 2019 a Campbell’s Chunky Soup commercial together, where the QB praised Jace and his other brother for being a great support system.
