Cowboys' Dak Prescott not shying away from setting lofty goals - ESPN

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott isn't afraid to let everybody know he carries big goals into 2026.

Prescott wore a vintage T-shirt from the Cowboys' last Super Bowl appearance — Super Bowl XXX in 1995 — when the team arrived in Oxnard, California, for training camp Monday. And while working out with skill players in Park City, Utah, before camp, Prescott came up with the anacronym GOTI, which stands for Greatest Offense There Is.

«We want stuff in life a lot of times, but then when people start talking about it, you kind of hesitate. 'Should I say that if they're going to hold me to it?'» Prescott said. «Well, absolutely. Playing in this organization, being in it 10 years, going into year 11, I'm not going to shy away from it. When you don't have it, it sucks when you don't get to play for it. When you're watching other teams play in the playoffs, there's nothing worse than that. And so, yeah, I said I'd be the quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys when I was 6 years old and said I'd be in the NFL, and I got here.

»A lot of things in my life, I said I'd do and I did it. And so why shy away from that now? Why shy away from asking people to hold me to the same standard that I believe that I can accomplish and this team can accomplish?"

Prescott said he found the T-shirt in his closet as he was packing for camp. He said he forgot about it but thought this was the right time to break it out.

As for GOTI, Prescott mentioned it to his teammates and everybody liked the idea. In Brian Schottenheimer's first year as head coach and playcaller, the Cowboys had a 4,000-yard passer (Prescott), two 1,000-yard receivers (CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens) and a 1,000-yard rusher (Javonte Williams). They also had a first-team All Pro in
