When it comes to awards, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has won his share since being drafted in 2016. Prescott was on the PFWA All-Rookie Team, won NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, has been a Pro Bowl QB as well as an All-Pro.
The list of impressive achievements for Prescott continued this week when it was announced he won the 2026 PFWA’s Good Guy Award, an honor given to the NFL player who displays the professional qualities that help football writers do their jobs. Prescott is the first Cowboy to win the award in its 22-year existence.
It’s the latest conquest for Prescott, who also won perhaps the most prestigious award when he was named as the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year in 2022. That was in honor of his work in the community, as well as being a leader on the field.
There aren’t many players in the league as well liked and respected as Prescott, who continues to be praised as a leader. The ‘Good Guy Award’ shows that Prescott excels with the media as well.
Cowboys fans would like some of that hardware to end with him holding the Lombardi Trophy as a Super Bowl winning QB, it’s all that’s left for Prescott to achieve.
