"I was mad as hell. Like mad at everybody. What's crazy, I have an aunt, she wore a Cowboy T-shirt that day. And I'm like, 'What the f--- are you doing?' And we ended up getting picked by the Cowboys."
"Today, Prescott is the NFL's highest-paid player with a contract of $60 million a year. He has become the Cowboys' all-time leader in passing yards, attempts and completions."
"For 10 years, Prescott has been the Cowboys' starting quarterback, taking over as a rookie for an injured Tony Romo, and he has been trying to do what Pro Football Hall of Famers Roger Staubach and Troy Aikman did -- lead Dallas to a Super Bowl victory."
"The process that led to the Cowboys securing the face of their franchise with a fourth-round pick suggests some kind of divine intervention."
Dak Prescott was frustrated during the 2016 NFL draft as he remained undrafted through the first three rounds despite a successful college career. He was eventually selected by the Dallas Cowboys in the fourth round, where he has since become the highest-paid player in the NFL and the franchise's all-time leader in passing yards, attempts, and completions. Prescott aims to lead the Cowboys to a Super Bowl victory, carrying a tattoo of '135' on his wrist as a reminder of his draft position.
