Despite posting one of the best rookie seasons by a quarterback in NFL history, by the very definition, Dak Prescott has played just one year of professional football. So, trying to project his career from such a small sample size is fruitless. Basically, the fourth round selection by the Dallas Cowboys out of Mississippi State last year still has much to prove.
While quarterbacks like the Miami Dolphins’ Dan Marino, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Ben Roethlisberger and the Seattle Seahawks’ Russell Wilson all had spectacular rookie campaigns and continued to trend upwards, there are plenty examples of the opposite.
