Cowboys' Dak Prescott Named Finalist For 'Anything But Ordinary' Player Of The Year Award

FRISCO, Texas (CBSDFW.COM) - Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has been nominated for the "Anything But Ordinary" Player of the Year award that "highlights the passions and innovations of players throughout the NFL."

The award is sponsored by Microsoft Surface, the league's official laptop and tablet partner.

Prescott's charity, "Faith Fight Finish," was created in his late mother's memory after her battle with colon cancer.

Prescott says his mission is to instill his mother's courage and strength in those also fighting the disease.

"Prescott credits her with being the role model in which he found his moral compass that guides him today. Now he's on a mission to share his mother's courage and strength with the world while helping patients fight their own battles against the illness," Prescott's nomination entry says.

Finalists will be chosen through a fan vote which runs now through Monday, January 20.

The grand prize winner will win a trip for two to Super Bowl LIV and a chance to see the winner announced at NFL HONORS on February 1 in Miami, the night before the game.
