Being the starting quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys makes you a pretty recognizable figure in the state of Texas. That's something that rookie QB Dak Prescott is discovering this year as he fills in for the injured Tony Romo.

But don't worry, the 23-year-old Prescott has a strategy when it comes to handling his newfound fame, and it's pretty hilarious.

I can't shake the image of Prescott revealing his true identity to the drive-thru cashier and then immediately peeling out in his car as he laughs maniacally to himself. That's good stuff.

Prescott may want to try 'fessing up a little earlier after big wins; maybe he can get some free fries or a shake out of it that way. He'll definitely want to stay quiet after rough games, though. People in Texas take their football too seriously to trust them with your food after a tough loss.
