The Facts: Prescott has lost 10 pounds since the end of the season and looking thinner and trimmer as the Cowboys began the start of the offseason program this week in preparation for the 2018 season. "I'm getting older," Prescott said Tuesday night. "I figure I better fix my diet now. I guess I've dropped a few pounds, but it's more about not eating the fast food, being 22 and realizing my metabolism is going to slow down."

Diehards Line:Prescott said he is right where he wants to be and added that he will put on 5 pounds before the start of the season. He said the weight loss has nothing to do with him possibly running more in 2018, as the Cowboys move toward an offense more suitable to his skills. But as Star-Telegram staffer Clarence E. Hill suggests, being thinner and trimmer can only help Prescott in what owner Jerry Jones describes as a Dak-friendly offense in 2018 that includes college-like spread schemes. “It’s an offense that lets him be unpredictable. It gives him the best way to be hard for the defense in the sense of game planning for him,” owner Jerry Jones said last month. It'll be interesting to see what a more Dak-friendly offense means for Prescott, but go ahead and assume the Cowboys will continue to lean heavy on Ezekiel Elliott first and foremost.
