Dak Prescott, Dallas Cowboys rookie QB, learned from Giants' Eli Manning at Manning Passing Academy

Rookie Dak Prescott never expected to open the season as the Cowboys’ starting quarterback, but he can thank Eli Manning for a helping hand in setting the stage for Sunday’s game against the Giants.

Prescott, who replaced the injured Tony Romo as the No. 1 quarterback, said Wednesday that attending the Manning Passing Academy played a big part in his development.

“I went to the passing academy as a camper when I was in high school and then two years in a row as a counselor, and I definitely learned a lot,” Prescott said on a conference call with Giants’ reporters.
