Dallas Cowboys send addition pair of former SEC standouts to 2019 Pro Bowl
Published:
Dallas teammates Dak Prescott and Amari Cooper are headed to the Pro Bowl.
The Cowboys officially announced the news late Monday evening as the former stars at Mississippi State and Alabama, respectively, add to the list of former SEC standouts set to participate in the 2019 Pro Bowl from Orlando. They made the cut after Drew Brees and Michael Thomas of the Saints both pulled out due to injuries.
Prescott finished the season throwing for 3,885 yards and 22 touchdowns with eight interceptions. He completed 67.7 percent of his passes. Cooper was traded to Dallas at midseason but still managed to put up solid numbers despite playing in two different offenses. He registered 75 receptions for 1,005 yards and seven touchdowns this season.
This marks the second time Prescott has been named to the Pro Bowl and the third time for Cooper — his first as a member of the Cowboys. Dallas will now have six players in the game, which is scheduled to be played Sunday at 3 p.m. ET on ESPN.
