From the moment the Dallas Cowboys selected Dak Prescott 135th overall in the 2016 NFL Draft many of us fans were stoked. And it wasn’t because we thought necessarily that Prescott could be the long term answer. We weren’t thinking long term. After all, the team had Tony Romo and he still had plenty left in the tank. Or so we thought.
The happiness from having Dak stemmed more from the idea that he could keep the team afloat should something happen to Romo.
He’s very good at protecting the ball and keeps his passes manageable so he isn’t the gunslinger risk a lot of rookie QBs are.
