- All right, welcome back, guys. Before we talk pick 25 and the Vikings, some very tragic news tonight from the world of the Dallas Cowboys. The team announced that Jace Prescott, the brother of Dak Prescott, passed away earlier today. Very sad to hear. Our thoughts and prayers obviously go out to the entire Prescott family. Pete, I know you've spent some time with the family. Just what are your thoughts on this?
- Yeah, over the years, covering Dak at Mississippi State, I spent some time around the Prescott brothers. There's obviously three of them. Jace was a big bear of a guy. Who was a offensive lineman in college. And he was the quieter of the three brothers. And it's a family that's really been touched by tragedy.
Their mother Peggy died of colon cancer in 2013. And obviously, my thoughts and prayers go out to the Prescott family. I was just heartbroken at the loss of Jace Prescott.
- Yeah, I mean, awful news. We don't know any of the details yet. Obviously, the team just releasing a statement. But absolutely heartbreaking news for anyone to have to deal with that. So our thoughts and our prayers go out to him.
