Dak Prescott Plays Golf During Cowboys Offseason – Fans Split Over Leadership Concerns

With training camp looming, Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott was recently spotted swinging golf clubs at a charity tournament in Texas. While some fans applauded the appearance as a lighthearted break, others raised concerns about his focus heading into a pivotal season.

Photos of Prescott smiling on the golf course quickly circulated across social media. Some critics fired off, “Josh Allen is dropping deep ball videos. Dak? He's on the green. That’s why we keep losing in January.” Meanwhile, defenders countered, “He’s human, not a robot. Rest and mental reset are part of preparation too.”

But the debate goes deeper than a round of golf. With recent headlines surrounding Micah Parsons and CeeDee Lamb missing minicamp, fans are beginning to wonder: who’s setting the tone in the Cowboys’ locker room? Prescott’s golf outing isn’t a problem in itself — but in a team lacking clear leadership optics, perception can spiral fast.

To be fair, Dak hasn’t missed an OTA, remains one of the most consistent veterans in camp participation, and has long been praised for his work ethic. Still, as the face of America's Team, every move gets magnified. And sometimes, one swing is all it takes to stir the storm.
