The wait for Mississippi State’s Dak Prescott was longer then he would have liked, however the greatest quarterback in Bulldogs’ history has got to be happy to land in Big D.
With an opportunity sit back and learn from one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL in Tony Romo, Prescott should face no pressure to immediately deliver in Dallas.
As was to be expected, immediately after being selected in Round Four, social media postings regarding Prescott’s draft selection began to flood the Internet.
Dak to Dallas!
R4, Pick 135: @15_DakP ➡️ @dallascowboys.

Color photos apparently had yet to be invented the last time Hail State sent a drafted quarterback to the NFL:

The Cowboys themselves don’t select quarterbacks in the draft very often:

Good situation for Dak. Time to develop under Romo/Garrett. Romo injury prone, he’ll get some snaps.
