“A fantastic person”: Dak Prescott gets support from Erin Andrews, Charissa Thompson amid Cowboys criticism and Sarah Jane Ramos breakup buzz

Dak Prescott continues to draw criticisms, but two familiar faces stepped in with a clear stance. On March 22, 2026, Erin Andrews and Charissa Thompson publicly defended the Dallas Cowboys QB while criticism of his performance and personal life continues to draw non-stop heat. The discussion came days after reports surfaced that Prescott and Sarah Jane Ramos had called off their planned wedding, sparking speculation online.

The current situation added fuel to an already loud debate. Dak Prescott faced scrutiny for Dallas’ recent struggles, while social media buzz around Sarah Jane Ramos dominated headlines. Andrews and Thompson instead shifted focus back to Prescott’s character, arguing that the noise often ignores who he is beyond the field.


Erin Andrews and Charissa Thompson defend Dak Prescott’s character as criticism and breakup talk grow louder
Speaking on the Calm Down podcast released March 22, 2026, Charissa Thompson pushed back against the criticism directed at Dak Prescott. “He is a fantastic person on and off the field, he’s a class act,” Thompson said while answering a listener's question about the Cowboys quarterback’s public perception. She further added, “He has been through hell and back in his personal life. He’s lost his brother, he’s lost his mom. He is a constant champion of people in the mental health space in everything from cancer prevention to early detection. To answer your question… I have no idea [why people hate him].”


Erin Andrews followed with a simpler explanation. “He plays for the Cowboys,” Andrews said during the same podcast episode. Thompson agreed immediately, noting that Dallas’ national spotlight naturally invites stronger reactions. The Dallas Cowboys have not reached an NFC Championship Game since the 1995 season, and that drought continues to shape public narratives around Prescott.

Their comments arrived as off-field attention increased. Reports in mid-March 2026 indicated that Prescott and Sarah Jane Ramos called off their wedding in Italy weeks before the ceremony. Social media speculation quickly followed, including unverified cheating rumors. None of those claims has been confirmed, but the chatter added pressure during an already critical period.


On the field, Prescott still produced strong numbers last season. He threw for more than 4,500 yards and 30 touchdowns while the Dallas Cowboys' offence ranked among the league’s top units. The defense, however, struggled near the bottom in scoring and passing yards allowed, which contributed to Dallas missing the playoffs.

Andrews also highlighted Prescott’s quieter side. Recalling a St. Jude charity event, she said on the March 22 episode, “There was an anonymous donation on Instagram, but then you could see who did it. It was Dak. He’s just such a solid dude.” The story reinforced their point.


Dak Prescott now faces criticism, breakup buzz involving Sarah Jane Ramos, and expectations tied to the Dallas Cowboys. Andrews and Thompson made their stance clear. For them, the debate around Prescott often says more about the spotlight than the player wearing the jersey.
