The Dallas Cowboys are a young and talented team with high hopes for the future. Quarterback Dak Prescott and running back Ezekiel Elliott lead the way for America's Team as Jerry Jones and company try to get back atop the totem pole in the NFL.

Although the team has one of the best quarterback-running back duos in the league, the Cowboys lost quite a few players in the offseason for one reason or another that may hurt their chances of competing for that elusive Super Bowl title. Prescott recently spoke at his football camp about his aspirations for a title in Dallas, via Clarence Hill of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. (H/T to Pro Football Talk for transcription)

“I’m trying. I’m doing my absolute best,” Prescott said.

Prescott, who is arguably coming off somewhat of a sophomore slump, likes the direction of the Cowboys moving forward. The energy and excitement of his teammates were noticeable during the team's minicamp and OTAs.

“I like where we are headed,” Prescott said. “I like the way we finished OTAs and minicamp. I like our attitude as a team, our hunger, the youthfulness, the energy. You can see guys excited to get back. And what’s good, the last day of an OTA or minicamp, guys weren’t sprinting out the door. That was exciting to see. And knowing that guys want to get back together in this off time to not only just hang out but to work and get better at ball. That is exactly what we need in a young team.”

The departure of longtime tight end Jason Witten and wide receiver Dez Bryant will be felt by this team next season, especially when it comes to the veteran leadership lost on offense.

However, the Cowboys may still be a force to be reckoned with as they try to bounce back from missing the playoffs in 2017. Prescott will have to shoulder the load in the leadership category as all quarterbacks in the league due with the added of being at the helm of one of the prestigious and successful franchises in the NFL.
