The Walter Payton Man of the Year is the league-wide award for community service activities off the field.
The honor highlights Prescott's work in the community, where he's an advocate for mental health and cancer awareness.
Prescott lost his brother to suicide in 2020 and his mother died from cancer in 2013 when he played at Mississippi State.
While accepting the award, he paid tribute to both of them.
Prescott joined Roger Staubach, Troy Aikman, and Jason Witten as Cowboys who have won this award.
