Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is in the news for his big body transformation before the 2025 NFL season.
Dak Prescott used to weigh 238 pounds (0.11 t), but now he’s down to 205. After losing 33 pounds (ca. 15 kg), the 31-year-old looks leaner and faster, making fans wonder if this will help his game.
He has been training hard this offseason. A new workout video from the Celina Bobcats Athletics Complex in Texas shows him moving smoothly. Some fans even compare his new speed to Lamar Jackson, who is renowned for his quick moves.

This transformation comes after a tough 2024 season when Prescott had surgery for a hamstring injury. As the highest-paid quarterback, he made this change to return stronger next season.
Fans react on Dak Prescott’s impressive new physique
This transformation sparked mixed opinions among NFL fans. Some believe the change was necessary for him, given Dak Prescott’s lackluster performance last year.
However, others aren’t too concerned, thinking his leaner physique won’t significantly impact his performance or the Cowboys’ gameplay.
@RodClineJenks said, “Well something needs to change. He has been a massive disappointment. I have never been a gambler on sports but if he is qb of my Cowboys (fan since 1977/kindergarten) then I am betting against them and getting sickly rich this year.”
