Prescott was interviewed at the camp. Here's some of what Prescott and Tom Shaw had to say. How were you able to handle the expectations of playing not only in the NFL but playing for one of the league's marquee teams. Prescott: I had good people surrounding me, good teammates, great coaches, great university that prepared me for the success like this. And then coming out  here to Tom Shaw last year before the season, just being grounded. It allowed me to go to Dallas and be who I am.

As Tony Romo’s Exit Looms, Jason Garrett Gushes Over Dak Prescott

... to live up to those each and every day and everything else will take care of themselves.”. What game stood out where you thought he could be the long-term starter. “I don’t think it was a point. I think he just handled everything well along the way. He came in from that rookie minicamp and you said wow, he handled that well. And then you get into the next phase and the next phase and the next phase. And at every turn he handled things really well both on the field and off the field. Obviously we try to create a good environment for our quarterback. We have a really good offensive line. We’ve got good receivers, weapons outside. We’ve got a really good runner. So the burden on the quarterback is something that you try to alleviate as much as you can. And he did a good job in that role but when he was called upon to bring us back and bring us back again he was able to do that. So he responded to so many different situations at home, on the road, on the field, off ...

Dak Prescott Goes Nuts After Mississippi State Stuns Uconn In Final Four

... The Cowboys quarterback was on hand in Dallas for the Women’s Final Four on Friday, and let’s just say that he might have been the most excited person in American Airlines Center  after watching his alma mater stun the Connecticut Huskies 66-64 in overtime. Here was Dak’s reaction after the Bulldogs’ Morgan William hit a 15-foot buzzer-beater that ended UConn’s 111-game winning streak. The shot also sent the Bulldogs to Sunday’s national championship against South Carolina. The shot also sent Prescott into absolute pandemonium. — Sports Illustrated (@SInow) April 1, 2017. First, that guy in the IHOP shirt looks like he just lost out on a year of free pancakes. As for Dak, he had an MSU basketball jersey especially made for this game, so you know he was taking it seriously. Also, it’s probably worth pointing out that Prescott was pretty much treating every basket as a life or death situation. Here’s what Prescott ...

... will tell his inspiring story. "He does understand the importance of the Boys & Girls Club and what we do with kids after school," Partee said of Prescott, who will share the Belcher Center stage with the club's Youth of the Month. "He's not this underdog story in that he was totally poor and living out of a car or any of those things, but he was never a starter in school.". He wasn't supposed to start for the Cowboys, either, but he did the same thing in Dallas he'd done in high school near Shreveport and for the Bulldogs in college. "He stepped in," Partee said. "He never relinquished the position.". In Dallas, he cemented the position — leading his team to a 13-3 record while setting records for the longest string of pass attempts without an interception (176) and highest rookie passer rating. He also earned the NFL's Offensive Rookie of the Year award. Partee said Prescott lost his mother to colon cancer while he was a freshman at Mississippi State. "I know he's going to talk a little bit about the importance of getting health-screened," Partee said. "He's going to talk about the importance of mentoring, which ...

Jerry Jones Meets With Peyton Manning, Discusses Dak Prescott

... his skills, how hard he worked at it and how he really left [no stone unturned], how he addressed every nuance of his game and that’s my picture of Peyton and I know it to be accurate. I think that might be Dak’s finest quality, his ability to look for every way he can to get better and continue to do it, so I think there will be really dramatic improvement. And you have every reason to think so because he just left Mississippi State for all practical purposes and you see how he took what he was getting from meetings, what he was getting from the coaching, what he was getting from guys like Romo, what he was getting from everybody, seeking it out. His ability to get people to give it to him. All those things. I think at the end of the day that might be his best quality.”. Prescott replaced Tony Romo and won 13 games as a rookie with 3,667 passing yards, 23 touchdowns, four interceptions and a 104.9 passer rating. Manning won three of 16 games, threw for 3,739 yards with 26 touchdowns, 28 interceptions ...

Teams Looking For Next Dak Should Consider Dobbs

... hearing more about him. He deserves some attention and I have a feeling he's going to get it over the next few weeks. - Daniel Jeremiah. * * *. Prospect on the rise: I mentioned above that Alabama safety Eddie Jackson wasn't getting enough attention. One safety who is generating plenty of attention in scouting circles - Utah's Marcus Williams. In terms of pure, centerfield safeties, Williams ranks right behind Malik Hooker in this draft class. He has outstanding range and he tracks the ball naturally. He has 11 career interceptions. He has average size for the position (6-foot 5/8, 202 pounds), but he plays much bigger when the ball is in the air. Like Hooker, he has a basketball background (he was nicknamed "Little Magic" in high school) and it shows up on the football field. He is all but a lock to go in the top 40 picks and I believe he could sneak into the bottom of Round 1. - Daniel Jeremiah. * * *. Two teams positioned perfectly in middle rounds: In a deep draft class like this year's, middle-round picks are pure gold. With that in mind, I looked up to see which teams had the most picks in the third and fourth rounds. Turns out, there are ...
