Dak Prescott Told An Incredible Story About Ezekiel Elliott

November 18, 2021 by The Spun

Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott in the first half against Miami.

Through six seasons together with the Dallas Cowboys, 2016 draft-mates Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott have developed quite the bond.

On Thursday, Prescott told an awesome story about the budding days of their tight-knit relationship.

During rookie minicamp in 2016, Zeke didn’t have car so Dak would drive him to workouts. One day, the first-round running back left a $5 million signing bonus in Prescott’s car.

The young QB called his teammate to come pick up the check, adding a hilarious comment in the process.

“Come pick this up, I won’t make this in the next 4 years,” Prescott said, per Cowboys insider Jon Machota.

As the No. 4 overall pick in the 2016 draft, Elliott quickly locked in a four-year rookie contract worth $24.9 million. On top of that, the star running back reportedly received $16.3 million in signing bonuses. Prescott, who was selected with a fourth-round draft pick, signed a far-lighter four-year, $2.7 million rookie deal.

Fortunately for Prescott, he can now joke about this previous payment discrepancy. Earlier this year, the sixth-year starting quarterback signed a massive four-year, $160 million deal with $66 million in signing bonuses and $126 million in guarantees.

Elliott has also upped his money — signing a six-year, $90 million extension with Dallas in 2019.

Salary aside, the friendship that these two players have built over their successful NFL careers is something special.

“It’s a special relationship. I’d say it’s on the level of brothers,” head coach Mike McCarthy said. “They’re together a lot. They laugh a lot together. They push each other. Their bond will go far beyond the field.”
