One of the lasting knocks on Dallas Cowboys fourth-year quarterback Dak Prescott is a misconception that he’s purely a dink-and-dunk passer. That reasoning was made popular Prescott’s rookie season as an explanation for his impressive 67.8 completion percentage.
Although it could be argued that Prescott is at times risk averse, the numbers tell a bit of a different story. Dak threw nine completions last season that went forty-yards or more. That tied him for the ninth most among his passing peers.
In fact, Prescott had the second longest pass completion in the NFL last season.
