    Cowboys' Dak Prescott Gets Respect From Eagles' Legend Jason Kelce

    By Richie Whitt,

    Dak Prescott has his money. Now the Dallas Cowboys' quarterback is getting another form of currency: Adulation and respect from two of the NFL's biggest names.

    It's rare for anyone associated with the NFC East rival Philadelphia Eagles to compliment anything remotely related to the Cowboys. But former Eagles' All-Pro Jason Kelce teamed with brother and Kansas City Chiefs' star tight end Travis to praise Prescott this week.

    On their wildly popular New Heights Podcast , the Kelce brothers threw their version of verbal bouquets at his feet.

    "Can you have a better day?" Jason asked rhetorically. "Signed a multi-hundred million dollar contract in the morning and then go out that afternoon and win your first game of the season ... that's a day! That's a fun experience. Well done, Dak."

    Travis, meanwhile, applauded.

    "He's such a good guy," said Travis, who spent time with Dak this offseason at his Tight End University. "Couldn't be happier for him. Especially with all the speculation and the injury and having to prove himself all over again. Proved it last season and now he's the highest-paid player in the league."

    Prescott finished second in the MVP voting to the Baltimore Ravens' Lamar Jackson last season after leading the league in completions and touchdowns. He threw for 179 yards and a touchdown in Dallas' season-opening blowout win over the Cleveland Browns.

    "I'm gonna upset some Eagles fans, but I like where Dak's at right now," Jason said. "You can see in his interviews how much more comfortable he is with being a leader in the NFL. The last two years it just appears he's more confident on the field and off the field. I'm digging his entire vibe."

    Added Travis, "He's figured it out."

    Now, to appease Cowboys fans and owner Jerry Jones, Prescott needs to figure out a way to win multiple playoff games in the same season. something Dallas hasn't done since 1995.
