NFL star Dak Prescott had a meteoric rise upon joining the pro-football league in 2016.
But who raised the man who would go on to lead the Cowboys to multiple division titles?
As it turns out, we know a fair bit about Dak Prescott’s parents, Nathaniel and Peggy.
Dak was born in Louisiana in 1993 as the third and youngest son of Nathaniel and Peggy Prescott.
However, the couple divorced when Dak was rather young.
From that point forward, the future NFL quarterback and his brothers were raised primarily by their mother.
Peggy Prescott sadly passed away in November 2013 at the age of 52 following a battle with colon cancer.
At the time, Dak was 20 years old and playing college football for Mississippi State.
In fact, the two even continued to meet up for weekly dates following their divorce.
There has never been anything estranged about our relationship at all.
I am ‘Pops.'"
But we all have our own individual relationships.
He has always been there for me."
“He wanted to be in Dallas.
I wanted him to be in Dallas,” he shared.
“It’s more convenient.
He’s there for me.
If I need something, he helps me out and gets it done.”
The QB also has multiple tattoos inspired by his mother.
He also has a cartoon lion his mother drew inked on his left shoulder.
