Cowboys QB Dak Prescott explains how -- and why -- he's been 'more stern' as a leader this offseason

FRISCO -- Last Wednesday marked 1,000 days since Tony Romo suffered a compression fracture in his L1 vertebra and Dak Prescott became the Cowboys' starting quarterback.

Prescott has gone on to start every game since, 51 total, including playoffs.

He enters his fourth season "as confident and comfortable as I've been."

The former fourth-round pick has quickly elevated himself from battling Jameill Showers for the third-string QB job in 2016 to being one of the faces of the franchise.

His leadership style has grown along the way.

"I've always been vocal," Prescott said.
