LeSean McCoy believes Dak Prescott has lost respect of Cowboys' teammates amid Trevon Diggs drama

Dak Prescott got skewered by his teammate Trevon Diggs and LeSean McCoy has concluded that the Dallas Cowboys quarterback has lost the dressing room.

During practice, after the quarterback scored a touchdown, the cornerback let off a volley of expletives toward him.

As McCoy observed, he has had the fortune to play with great quarterbacks like Tom Brady, Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen and Michael Vick. He couldn't recount any instance where a player could speak to the franchise quarterback like Trevon Diggs spoke to Dak Prescott.

He said:

"I think it's something there. I mean, I don't know. I've played some football. So I'll just say this. Let me set the stage. I played with Michael Vick, right?
"I played with Tom Brady, played with Josh Allen, played with Patrick Mahomes, nobody on the team would even fix they lips to say something like that to the quarterback. A franchise quarterback?"

McCoy also added that he thinks players are fed up with Prescott being marketed as the franchise leader of the most valuable franchise in the league. Yet, when push comes to shove, the quarterback disappears, as it has now happened twice against the San Francisco 49ers in consecutive playoff appearances.

Trevon Diggs and the defense gave their offense a chance to win in each game but their quarterback could not capitalize.

The commentator added:

"Two things it tells me. One is they don't respect him. And two is they tired of everybody making him the face, the guy and we get in a tight game, he's the one that blows the game for us... I'm tired bro. You keep doing the same thing."

LeSean McCoy's former quarterback also took some heat from Trevon Diggs' brother

Despite LeSean McCoy's observation that franchise quarterbacks do not take verbal abuse from teammates, this was not quite true in the case of one of the quarterbacks he mentioned.

Josh Allen famously took a volley of invective from Stefon Diggs as the Buffalo Bills lost last season in the divisional round themselves, like the Cowboys, to the Cincinnati Bengals.

Hence, while it may be the case that Dak Prescott has lost the locker room, he is not the first franchise quarterback in recent memory to take an earful from a teammate named Diggs.
