FRISCO, Texas – Dak Prescott is the best example on the Cowboys’ roster, maybe in the entire NFL, of the ‘next man up’ mentality.
Prescott’s story is local and national legend by now. Last year as a rookie, he went from third-string quarterback to starter to Pro Bowler in the span of four months.
Prescott’s backfield teammate, fellow Pro Bowl running back Ezekiel Elliott, is appealing his current six-game suspension. If indeed he’s unavailable for the foreseeable future, the Cowboys look set to lean on a committee comprising Alfred Morris, Rod Smith and Darren McFadden.
