After a frustrating 2024 season that saw him sidelined for most of the year with a hamstring injury, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has been hard at work in the offseason, undergoing a noticeable physical transformation and debuting a fresh new look.
An Instagram post from Big.BMedia highlighted Dak Prescott’s new look, featuring videos of the Cowboys quarterback training alongside teammates Jalen Brooks, Jalen Tolbert, and Brevyn Spann-Ford.
In the first clip, Prescott is seen launching passes, appearing noticeably leaner than in previous seasons. His offseason training regimen seems to have been intense, and his physical transformation could play a key role in his performance for the 2025 season. With the retirement of Zack Martin and DeMarcus Lawrence’s departure in free agency, Prescott is now the longest-tenured player on the team.
The Cowboys are coming off a disappointing 7-10 season, finishing third in the NFC East. Prescott started eight games, leading Dallas to a 3-5 record before landing on injured reserve. The team finished 4-5 in the final nine games with Cooper Rush and Trey Lance at quarterback. Keeping Prescott healthy will be crucial if the Cowboys hope to contend in the division.
Will Dak Prescott’s Transformation Boost the Cowboys in 2025?
The Cowboys face an uphill battle in their quest to win the NFC East, as they’ll be competing against two playoff teams from the 2024 season—the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles and the Washington Commanders, who both contended for the NFC Championship.
Dak Prescott appears to be in peak physical condition following his offseason transformation. The hope is that his improved fitness will help him stay healthy as he returns from a season-ending injury.
Throughout his career, Prescott has battled multiple serious injuries. In 2020, he suffered a devastating ankle injury that sidelined him for 11 games. In 2022, a thumb injury forced him to miss several weeks, though he returned to lead the Cowboys to a Wild Card Round victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Just two seasons ago, Prescott and the Cowboys were coming off an impressive 12-5 campaign in 2023. He threw for over 4,500 yards and 36 touchdowns in the regular season. However, their playoff run was short-lived, as they were soundly defeated by the Green Bay Packers 48-32 in the Wild Card Round.
Originally selected in the fourth round of the 2016 NFL Draft as a potential successor to Tony Romo, Prescott was thrust into the starting role after Romo suffered an injury in the preseason. He made an immediate impact, leading the Cowboys to a 13-3 record while throwing for 3,667 yards, 23 touchdowns, and just four interceptions. His standout rookie season earned him NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year honors.
Since then, Prescott has been named to three Pro Bowls, earned Second-Team All-Pro honors in 2023, and won the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year award in 2022.
