All 32 NFL teams passed on former Mississippi State QB Dak Prescott at least once in last year’s NFL Draft, with many teams passing on him three or four times before the Dallas Cowboys selected him in the fourth round.
After winning the NFL’s Offensive Rookie of the Year award, it’s fair to say many of those teams are kicking themselves now.

The Cowboys opened the 2017 season with a convincing win over the New York Giants on Sunday night, while the Broncos narrowly escaped the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday night.
