Jones on Dak Prescott’s finest quality

Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones reveals quarterback Dak Prescott’s finest quality as well as the expectation’s for his immediate future.

The Dallas Cowboys owner and self-appointed general manager landed a franchise quarterback in the back end of the fourth round of the 2016 NFL Draft.

The Cowboys meet, worked out and interviewed Prescott likely more than any other quarterback prospect prior to the draft last offseason.

They simply missed what every other NFL team missed when it came to their evaluation of the 23-year old quarterback’s potential as an NFL starter.

Prescott’s growth between his senior year in college to his rookie season in the NFL is unprecedented.

In Prescott’s senior year his completion percentage jumped nearly five points (66.2) and his mistakes dropped by more than half, as he threw for more yardage (3,793), more scores (29) and less interceptions (5) in the same amount of games (13).

The jump from Prescott’s senior year at Mississippi State to his rookie season under center with America’s Team is even more impressive.

Prescott also threw for one less interception than he did as a senior in college, despite playing in three more games against much better competition.

The Pro Bowl quarterback threw for 3,667 yards, 23 touchdowns and four interceptions while leading the Cowboys to a 13-3 record in 2016.
