Greatness in Cowboys’ Dak Prescott seen early by noted trainer

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott’s surprising rise from fourth-round project to one of the best rookie quarterbacks in NFL history has been well chronicled.

At least no one not named Tom Shaw, the heralded strength and conditioning guru who trained Prescott for the NFL Draft last spring.

It was Shaw who told Walt Disney World sports media director Darrell Fry that Prescott had the makings of something special.
