The Dallas Cowboys had to consider themselves one of the luckiest teams in the NFL in 2016. After two failed attempts to trade up in that year’s draft for rookie quarterbacks, they settled for Mississippi State’s Dak Prescott on Day Three. He was actually their second selection in the fourth round. The first being Oklahoma defensive end Charles Tapper, who is no longer on the team.
Prescott shocked the sporting world two years ago, posting one of the best rookie seasons by a quarterback in the history of the NFL. Dak recorded 3,667 yards for 29 total touchdowns and only four interceptions for the Cowboys.
