42. Dak Prescott

Dak Prescott impressed pro scouts at Mississippi State, and he was viewed as a project for the Cowboys when they took him in the Fourth Round in 2016.  A pre-season injury to incumbent Quarterback, Tony Romo, vaulted Prescott to a rookie starter, and he responded with one of the best initial campaigns of any Dallas signal caller.

Prescott was outstanding in his first season, winning the AP Offensive Rookie of the Year, leading Dallas to a 13-3 Season with a 23-4 TD-INT Ratio.  It can be argued that this has been to date Prescott’s most efficient season, as he has yet to top his personal best in Passer Rating (104.9) and QBR (77.6), but Prescott has still been productive.  To date, Prescott has had two years where he threw for more than 4,000 Yards and 30 Touchdowns, and has been a Pro Bowl twice.

Still a Cowboy as of this writing, Prescott is entering his eighth season, and currently has nearly 25,000 Passing Yards with 166 Touchdowns.  If he reaches his rookie levels and takes Dallas to a Super Bowl, Prescott could be an all-time top 15 Cowboy.
