Cowboys news: The many parallels between Tony Romo’s and Dak Prescott’s careers

He was supposed to be the shift, not the continuation. Not a happy read, but an important one.

Each showed outstanding regular-season success but left lingering questions in the playoffs.

They share a beloved underdog narrative: Romo as an undrafted free agent, Prescott as a fourth-round pick. They were selected for multiple Pro Bowls. They set team records. They used the power of their position with “America’s Team” to become household names.
