Chiefs' Travis Kelce Heaps Praise on Cowboys' Dak Prescott

During his career with the Kansas City Chiefs, Travis Kelce has seen up and close a pretty good quarterback. Patrick Mahomes, after all, has helped him three Super Bowl rings.

While the Dallas Cowboys' Dak Prescott doesn't have nearly the playoff success, he does have the respect and adulation of not only Kelce but also his brother, former Philadelphia Eagles' All-Pro center Jason.

Prescott, who is only 2-5 in the playoffs, last weekend signed a four-year, $240 million contract to become the NFL's highest-paid player and first to make $60 million per season. But instead of jealousy or criticism, on their wildly popular New Heights Podcast the Kelce brothers threw their version of verbal bouquets at the feet of Prescott.

"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.

Dak's a nice enough guy, but pretty sure Travis would like to see Texas native Mahomes win a fourth ring next February.
