WATCH: Dak Prescott issues inspirational message to Kyler Murray ahead of 2019 NFL Draft
The NFL Draft season always makes for some interesting takes, and this year’s hot topic is whether Heisman Trophy-winning Oklahoma QB Kyler Murray will be the No. 1 overall pick or not.
The Arizona Cardinals are keeping everyone in the dark about their plans, but even if they don’t pick Murray, he’ll almost certainly still be a top-10 pick.
So, on Sunday, when former Mississippi State (and current Dallas Cowboys) QB Dak Prescott issued a message to Murray telling him to prove the doubters wrong, it was a bit strange:

Sure, Murray was doubted coming out of high school, but since 2018, he’s been a first-round pick in the MLB Draft, won the Heisman Trophy, made the College Football Playoff and is now in the mix to be the No. 1 overall NFL Draft pick. If that’s what being doubted is like, sign me up!
Prescott, who was a fourth-round pick, knows WAY more about being doubted. Perhaps he should have sent this message to his former teammate — Nick Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald will be sweating out the draft to see if and when he gets selected.
