FRISCO, Texas -- For more than 20 years, every NFL fan has heard of the Brady 6, the quarterbacks selected before the New England Patriots selected Tom Brady in the sixth round of the 2000 draft.
Dak Prescott can relate.
“It’s seven for me,” the Dallas Cowboys quarterback said. “Brady 6, Dak 7.”
In the 2016 draft, Prescott was the eighth quarterback selected. The Cowboys got Prescott with a fourth-round pick. Since then he has taken the team to the playoffs three times. He has twice been named to the Pro Bowl and would have been added in 2021 if he hadn’t chosen to pass on the opportunity as a replacement.
