INDIANAPOLIS – If the 15 quarterbacks at this year’s Scouting Combine need an extra glimmer of sanguinity about their NFL future, here are two meaningless statistics from last year’s NFL Draft:
Dak Prescott was the seventh of 15 quarterbacks drafted.
Dak Prescott was the 135th player drafted.
As 32 teams pour worthwhile time and resources into evaluating the nation’s best college prospects here in Indianapolis, Prescott’s rise from fourth-round pick to AP Offensive Rookie of the Year is a blunt reminder that the draft is an inexact science capable of surprising the entire league – even the team that drafted him.
