Dak Prescott reads critical pre-draft profile


Dak Prescott made the Pro Bowl as a rookie after the Dallas Cowboys selected him with the 135th overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft, and the former Mississippi State star wasn't expected to tear up the league initially.

Pro Football Focus listed Prescott as a "buyer beware" prospect, ESPN's Mel Kiper wrote that Prescott is a "is a solid guy to have on the bench, but I question the starting upside," and NFL.com compared Prescott to Brett Hundley, who has a career rating of 70.6.

Prescott joined The Dan Patrick Show Wednesday and read some of his negative pre-draft profiles, and said he'd like to keep the paper for motivation.

Dak Prescott: "Accuracy on intermediate and deep throws, NOT sharp. Not in capital, capitalization. Hyper-aware of pressure around him and lacks awareness to slide and find temporary shelter to make throw."

Dan Patrick: "True."

Dak Prescott: "…. Footwork is a mess."
