When it comes down to the brass tacks, Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliot’s remarkable friendship as Dallas Cowboys teammates over the years can’t be denied. That’s undoubtedly what made Elliott the perfect person for Prescott to celebrate his new monster contract extension with the team.
After the Cowboys dropped a 33-17 beatdown on the Cleveland Browns in a game that also featured Tom Brady’s announcing debut for Fox, Prescott got the opportunity to wax poetic about this current place in his career. He got a chance to reflect on where he’s come with the Cowboys and where he still has to go.
Prescott chose to focus on an emotional, celebratory moment he shared with Elliott right after his Dallas extension was made official. Elliott was Prescott’s first hug after the news. Because of course he was.
It would always be Elliott:
Dak Prescott was in his room this morning when he got news of his contract extension from his agent. Ezekiel Elliott and Dak’s trainer Luke Wilson were in the room as well.
Dak was emotional, eyes welling up a bit, when he was asked what it was like to share that moment w/ Zeke: pic.twitter.com/oiYoZ6yDZb

Man, say what you want about the Cowboys — Mike McCarthy admittedly does make that easy — but you can’t deny the connections they’ve built over the years. Prescott and Elliott have the look of two guys who have been pals forever and who would do anything for each other.
It’s only fitting that Elliott celebrates Prescott and his achievements now after he helped take care of him as a younger player.
