DALLAS — Next time you need a character witness — apparently a chronic condition with the Cowboys — don’t ask Stephen Jones. Flagged down at the combine this week, he was asked why he said they have “all the faith in the world” in Dak Prescott’s ability to quarterback them to a Super Bowl despite recent evidence to the contrary. Stephen was doing just fine, at that, laying it on for the jury by citing Dak’s leadership skills and work ethic and the fact they know him so well.
And then came a hiccup in his testimony.
“Other than he hadn’t won some key playoff games,” Stephen said, “he’s everything you want in a quarterback.”
