Dak Prescott suffered a nasty injury last year put his future in question as he entered a long rehabilitation process.
His teammate and member of the same Dallas Cowboys 2016 draft class, Jaylon Smith, knows a thing or two about that, after having to “redshirt” his first professional season after suffering an awful knee injury in 2016 Fiesta Bowl.
The former Notre Dame standout and 2015 Butkus Award winner rehabbed from that and now stars for the Cowboys. He recently joined NFL Network for an interview (that he didn’t even have to leave his car for), and compared what he went through to get back on the field to what Prescott is going through now.
Also included in the clip are comparisons of this off-season to last for the Cowboys and the team’s new culture they’re working to create.
