Dallas Cowboys banking on Dak Prescott's leadership to elevate inexperienced receivers

OXNARD, Calif. -- The Dallas Cowboys are asking a lot of Dak Prescott. To lead. To be a playmaker. To run if he needs to run. And to teach.

It’s almost an obligation for playing the most important position and having a $40 million-a-year contract.

“I don’t know if somebody sat down and asked me to do more necessarily but I know what’s expected,” Prescott said. “I know being the quarterback of this team, I know being a quarterback of whatever team you are, what’s expected in your role and responsibility.”

But this season is a little different because of changes and injuries at wide receiver.
