Jason Garrett had an interesting explanation for the video clip of Dak Prescott throwing away trash during a game that has gone viral.
The Dallas Cowboys head coach was asked by the media about the clip from Sunday’s Cowboys-Ravens game that shows Prescott getting up off the bench to throw away a cup after he initially missed the trash can with his throw (video here).
“That he’s a neat freak,” Garrett said of what he thought of the clip, via the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. “I would say that’s a positive story about Dak. Yes.”
Though the Cowboys head coach didn’t seem to be as blown away by the trash video as everyone else was, he said the Cowboys have long seen how good Prescott’s character is.
“Again, you’ve heard me say this a number of times, but we saw it right from the start when he came to Valley Ranch and we had a chance to spend time with him and then once we drafted him when he came in for the first rookie minicamp. Just handled himself the right way. A professional, a natural leader, prepares really, really well for every opportunity. So it’s been great to have him. There’s no question about that. A big part of his success has a lot to do with who he is as a person.”
Prescott is dominating the league in his rookie season. He has thrown for 2,640 yards, 17 touchdowns and just two interceptions while leading Dallas to a 9-1 record. He is also winning over fans and teammates with his model behavior.
