The rise of Dak Prescott surprised a lot of people in 2016. That includes members of the Dallas Cowboys themselves. Wide receiver Cole Beasley recently admitted he didn’t have a clue what would happen when Prescott took a snap under center for the first time.
In fact, it could be argued that Prescott was in as low as fourth on the depth chart at some point early last offseason. Famously a late fourth round selection out of Mississippi State, Dak arrived in Dallas with Tony Romo, Kellen Moore and Jameill Showers already filling out the depth chart.
