Twitter: Dak Prescott: I don’t know if I’ve been around a football player as smart as Zeke

[Tangle_Foot]

I know Dak doesn't know me but I want a little credit as a fan, when I see pressure coming I always scream look out!

 

[Nav22]

Nope. But I do think Dak is pumping Zeke's tires a bit and reaching for a way to do it. Nobody is going to convince me that giving a teammate a heads up identifies a player as exceptionally smart. That sort of thing happens in team sport all the time. I'm glad Zeke does the obvious.

What an absurd assumption to make.

I’d say it’s far more reasonable to assume that most RBs are worried about their own responsibilities on a given play, and therefore don’t have the time or wherewithal to verbally alert the QB of anything.

Especially since Dak is essentially telling you this.

“Do Your Job” is the mantra for a reason.

If OTs did this every time they were beaten, there would be many fewer strip sacks and blind side hits.

 

[Corso]

Seriously? This sounds like something any RB would do. It takes exceptional intelligence to let your QB know he's being pursued?

Maybe... maybe not.
Sounds like something Dak hasn't really encountered before, no?

Well... better for Zeke to do these things than not.

 

[Zman5]

But what was his wonderlic score?

He had the highest score ever for a RB.

 

[Blue&Silver]

That's ironic considering Ezekiel is one of the dumbest players outside of football. Go figure.

Travis Frederick, one of 100 students at U of W (a huge school) to double major in Computer Engineering and Computer Science, while being one of the best Centers in the country - a position that requires a good amount of preparation to be in the elite tier.

 

[JBond]

Smart enough to recognize the blitz, smart enough to spend his training camp in Cabo, and smart enough to get the contract he wanted. A+ student this Ezekiel is.

Lol!

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Might be smart at football, but he's definitely dumb at life.

This is starting to become a outdated and lazy narrative about him.

 

[buybuydandavis]

Supposedly Zeke had the highest RB wonderlic ever. 32.

[buybuydandavis]

Being smart and having common sense are two entirely different things

Conscientiousness, motivation, impulse control, etc.

People make too much and too little of intelligence. It's not a whole bunch of things. It's not nothing either.

 

[CF74]

I've been told that Travis Frederick and Sean Lee are the two smartest players on the team.

Is Zeke smarter than Kellen Moore? Somehow I don’t believe he meant literally....

 

[Runwildboys]

Seriously? This sounds like something any RB would do. It takes exceptional intelligence to let your QB know he's being pursued?

No, I think he was telling him before the snap.

 

[Ranching]

Cabo is paying off!!! I like it!!

 

[CATCH17]

All that goes out the window in the offseason.

 

[Runwildboys]

LOL ...think about it, if they regularly see Zeke out partying during the week, what does that say about them.

They're bartenders?

 

[Nova]

I've been told that Travis Frederick and Sean Lee are the two smartest players on the team.

seems plausible now that taco is gone

 

[ksadler1]

The third category is having common sense when you are drinking, which starts for most guys when they are about 35.

I'm pretty sure the more you drink, the more your common sense deteriorates. I don't think age really matters...

 

[ksadler1]

I only care what he does on the field. Don't care about his private life.

I have no doubt the NFL cares about what he does in his private life...

 

[LovinItAll]

Might be smart at football, but he's definitely dumb at life.

Seems like he's crushing life to me. If you think you're doing better, just post how much of your time and money you give to charity. Zeke's contributions are public knowledge.
