29. 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 three years where he threw for more than 4,000 Yards and 30 Touchdowns, and has been a Pro Bowl three times

Still a Cowboy as of this writing, Prescott is entering his ninth season, and last year he led the NFL in Touchdown Passes for the first time (36).  He is closing in on 30,000 Passing Yards with 202 TDs. If he reaches his rookie levels and takes Dallas to a Super Bowl, Prescott could be an all-time top 10 Cowboy.
