"I'm a big believer in you're getting better or you're getting worse," Prescott said. "When I walk in these doors, I'm just trying to be very intentful for anything and everything that I do. Obviously being this far in, not just me, but leading the other guys and making sure they understand how valuable these reps are, how valuable it is getting to be around each other this time of year, investing in each other, investing in our brotherhood and the culture that we're trying to build.

"It's just good for me to be around vets like that that have a lot of experience," Downs said. Backup quarterback Sam Howell stated he grew up watching Prescott. Left tackle Tyler Guyton stated he was in middle school when Prescott first started playing in the NFL.
