Prescott claims that he spoke with several Eagles players at the Pro Bowl and liked what they had to say about Parker. The 32-year-old quarterback also said he enjoyed his first meeting with the new DC and believes the Cowboys got a good one to lead the defense.
"Super excited about that hire," said Prescott about Parker. "Yeah, obviously I've met him. Talked to him briefly, but excited [about his] demeanor. The way he carries himself, and me the whole staff.
"Not only that, you go to the Pro Bowl, you get to meet guys… Zack Baun , Cooper DeJean are guys that played under [Parker], and just to hear how much they loved him, how much they love playing for him, how excited our guys are going to be, super pumped."
The Cowboys seemingly need help to improve the defense, and the hope is for Christian Parker to do just that next season . Dallas ended the 2025-26 campaign with the No. 30-ranked defense, averaging 377 total yards allowed per game while allowing 59 touchdowns, the second most in the league.
