Cowboys' Dak Prescott Discusses Mental Health After Skip Bayless' Comments

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott pushed back on insensitive comments made by Skip Bayless on Thursday after the Fox Sports analyst was critical of Prescott for discussing his mental health issues.

"No, I think that's a fake leader," Prescott told reporters when asked if he should be viewed as less of a leader for coming forward. "Being a leader is about being genuine and being real."

Prescott publicly confirmed his brother, Jace, took his own life in April during an appearance on In Depth with Graham Bensinger. The Cowboys star also opened up about his own bouts with anxiety and depression, which began this offseason.
