NFC East rankings: How does NY Giants’ Daniel Jones stack up?
1) Dak Prescott – Dallas Cowboys
When healthy, Dak Prescott is a top-10 quarterback across the NFL.
The problem for the Dallas Cowboys last season, was that Prescott’s ended five weeks in due to a gruesome ankle injury.
Now, back in training camp, Prescott has one of the most gifted collections of skill players in the league; wide receivers CeeDee Lamb, Amari Cooper, Michal Gallup, running back Ezekiel Elliott, behind one of the top offensive lines in football.
There’s a chance that if Prescott stays healthy he could pass for upwards of 5,000 yards in a 17-game season, and the Cowboys push for an NFC Championship bid. But, if Prescott suffers another injury, Dallas’ season could come careening off the tracks. Again.
That’s how valuable Prescott is to the Cowboys.
