Cowboys rumors: Dak Prescott gets enough attention, turns down “Quarterback”
Netflix’s “Quarterback” was roundly praised by critics and fans alike for detailing the 2022 season through the eyes of Patrick Mahomes, Kirk Cousins and Marcus Mariota both on and off the field. It felt like an unprecedented look into the lives of the men playing the hardest position in football.
So naturally, everyone begged for Season 2 with instant speculation about which quarterbacks would be the most fascinating to follow in 2023.
Dak Prescott was obviously on the short list for that one. He helms one of the biggest brands in sports and is facing immense pressure to deliver this year. Who wouldn’t want to see the inner workings of his life?
Well, Prescott isn’t interested and its easy to see why: He’s already under enough of a microscope without Netflix cameras digging even deeper.

He told reporters at Cowboys training camp that Dallas “gets enough coverage.”
That’s probably true. And Prescott will have enough on his plate. Declining an opportunity that would no doubt be good for his own personal brand (fans came away from “Quarterback” with new appreciation for Mahomes’ dedication and Cousins’ personality) means he can stay focused on the task at hand.
When Mahomes signed up for it, he already had a Super Bowl on his record. Maybe Prescott can circle back after he’s gotten one of his own.
