The name called was Dak Prescott, a quarterback out of Mississippi State who had played four college seasons and posted the most efficient back half of a college career that Cowboys scouts had seen in the class. The pick was met without fanfare. Tony Romo was the Dallas quarterback. Prescott was a developmental project, a depth piece, a draft value. Then Tony Romo fractured his back in the preseason. Dak Prescott started the 2016 regular season opener. He never gave the job back. He won the 2016 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year Award. He became the franchise quarterback of America's Team.

🌟 Sulphur, Louisiana — Haughton, Louisiana — The Making of a Cowboys QB

Rayne Dakota Prescott was born July 29, 1993, in Sulphur, Louisiana — a city in the southwestern corner of the state near Lake Charles, in the flat, humid lowlands of Cajun country. He grew up in Haughton, Louisiana, a small town in the Bossier Parish of northwestern Louisiana near Shreveport. Football was the language spoken in Haughton the way it is spoken in small towns all across the American South — on Friday nights under stadium lights, in backyards on Saturdays, in film rooms with coaches who believed in the player they were developing. His mother Peggy Ann Prescott — the person who believed in him most completely — died of colon cancer in November 2013, while Dak was in college at Mississippi State. He wore her number 4 in her memory when he reached the NFL. The number on the back of every Dallas Cowboys jersey he has put on since his debut.

🏆 Mississippi State — 2016 NFL Draft — 4th Round to Franchise Quarterback

At Mississippi State University under Coach Dan Mullen, Dak Prescott played four seasons of college football and developed into one of the most experienced and efficient quarterbacks in the college game. He set Mississippi State records across multiple categories and entered the 2016 NFL Draft as a prospect with exceptional poise, pocket awareness, and dual-threat ability that scouts valued but the draft board underrated relative to other quarterbacks in the class. The Cowboys took him in the fourth round with the 135th pick. When Tony Romo's preseason injury created the vacancy, Prescott filled it with an ease and a command that silenced every question about whether a fourth-round pick could start for the Cowboys. He threw for 3,667 yards, 23 touchdowns, and 4 interceptions in 2016. He rushed for 282 yards and 6 touchdowns. He was named the 2016 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year. He never handed the job back.
