Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott declared that his faith is his “superpower.”
“I’m great. I’m blessed. As I said, I’m a follower of Christ, and you know, just having the faith that I do — it’s always been something — and a superpower, in a sense, that I’ve had is my faith, and so it won’t change,” the athlete said in a video from QBs For Christ. “I won’t even say it gets shaken, just because if things happen and things don’t go necessarily my way or the way that I thought they would doesn’t necessarily affect that. I affect the way that I wake up each morning.”
Prescott chooses to live his life with an attitude of gratitude.
“I’m grateful when my feet hit the ground. I’m grateful to breathe the air that I do and to be where I’m at,” he continued. “I’ve got too many blessings to look at my trials. I’m just super thankful for the opportunity that I have to be where I am and to have two amazing daughters, to be able to play the quarterback position for this organization and still inspire so many.”
“Adversity is going to come; it’s inevitable. And if you know how to respond to it, and if you can respond to it consistently, you can get over it,” he emphasized.
Prescott knows about overcoming adversity and hardship. His mother died of cancer several years ago.

“My mom was my hero and No. 1 supporter and fan. It was tough watching what cancer did to her and knowing that all I could do was support her, love her, and be there to try to pick her up when she was down,” Prescott wrote in a post on social media in 2018.
In 2020, he suffered a severe ankle injury, but that didn’t keep him from letting his faith shine through him.
“I’m just excited — excited for God’s purpose and plan,” the quarterback told fans in an Instagram live video. “I know it’s bigger than anything that I see, or I could have imagined, but I’m trusting Him. My faith is doubled down more than ever, and I’m thankful that He’s my Savior and He guides me in life.”
“I know through Him, all this will be possible, and all this will be a great comeback and a great story,” he added.
For Prescott, faith isn’t just something he leans on when times get hard — it’s the steady foundation that lets him meet every trial with gratitude instead of doubt.
