Jameill Showers' competition with Dak Prescott has changed angles

FRISCO, Texas -- A year ago, Jameill Showers was splitting snaps running the third-team offense with Dak Prescott during the Dallas Cowboys' organized team activities.

Sometimes Showers would get the first two snaps. Other times Prescott, their fourth-round pick, would. And you didn't have to look too far to find folks inside the organization who were fans of Showers' ability as a quarterback.

Now, Showers is a safety, trying to impress the coaches enough defensively and on special teams, and Prescott is the unquestioned Cowboys quarterback with a Pro Bowl and Offensive Rookie of the Year Award to his credit.
