Dak Prescott made a return to the NFL Top 100 on Sunday as he cracked the top 50 at No. 44. It ended a four-year absence for the former Mississippi State quarterback now playing for the Dallas Cowboys.
Prescott has had a tumultuous career, and even after major ankle surgery, he also dealt with nagging injuries last season. Prescott still had a big season that propelled him to this position in the annual rankings.
He led Dallas to an NFC East title, and also recorded career-highs in completions (410), completion percentage (68.8), and touchdown passes (37), the last of which set the single-season franchise record. He even finished seventh in the league in passing with 4,449 yards.
The NFL Top 100 ranking took into consideration that health adversity in context with the production he did on the field.
“For someone who was fighting off multiple injuries throughout the entire season, those numbers are not only incredible but worthy of a top-50 ranking. Prescott’s comeback season ends what was a four-season absence on the Top 100.”
