There’s nothing easy about being vulnerable, especially when you’re the franchise quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys. With that said, Dak Prescott was incredibly brave when he opened up about his struggles with mental health during the filming of In Depth with Graham Besinger.

In an extremely emotional interview, Dak Prescott discussed his battle with depression following the passing of his brother. He also stated how important it was for him to talk to someone about his struggles and how helpful it was to be heard.

Hopefully, Dak Prescott coming forward and using his platform to speak about the importance of mental health awareness will empower others to open up about their own struggles and get the help that they need. As Dak Prescott said, “I think it’s huge to get help. And it saves lives.”

Dak Prescott opening up has already led to some other NFL players speaking about their experiences with mental health.
