Jerry Jones Describes Dak Prescott as Unshakable

Dak Prescott proved early in his rookie season with the Dallas Cowboys that he is not a typical rookie quarterback.

Typical rookie quarterbacks don’t lead their teams to 9-1 records. They also don’t show the remarkable poise he has displayed, whether on the road or, as was the case Sunday, playing before a home crowd of 93,000-plus at AT&T Stadium, where he led the Cowboys to a 27-27 victory against the Baltimore Ravens.

And Prescott’s cool demeanor is one quality that has impressed Cowboys owner/General Manager Jerry Jones the most so far, although given his experience as a former Mississippi State standout, there is nothing about a big-time atmosphere that should rattle him.

“He’s played before a bigger crowd than this 100,000 we had here [Sunday],” Jones told Steve Torre and Bill Lekas on the “Sunday Drive” on SiriusXM NFL Radio. “So there’s not a lot of things that shake him. And the big thing is how well he prepares, how he really does bring to the game really better execution than he does on the practice field.

“So all of that, you feel good about. You’ve seen it, and every time he goes out there, though, as a rookie, you want to see it again.”
