Jerod Evans watched as Dak Prescott surprised everyone, including the Cowboys, last season. Prescott proved that it doesn’t matter when a player is drafted.
Despite being a fourth-round choice, Prescott arguably had the best rookie season by a quarterback in NFL history.
“To come in in the fourth round, Dak has blown it up,” Evans said. “I keep hearing the comparisons. It’s an honor to get compared to someone who’s doing so great in the league, especially as a rookie, but he didn’t start [low-round picks making good]. It was definitely started way before him.”
Evans, a Mansfield product, pointed out Tom Brady’s journey from sixth-round draft pick to a five-time Super Bowl champion.
