Dak Prescott was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys four years ago in the fourth round (135th overall). The Jerry Jones-owned franchise took a bet on the youngster and drafted him as they looked for a replacement for the great Tony Romo. After impressing in pre-season and in light of Romo’s injury, the Cowboys named Prescott the starter ahead of the 2016 season.

He made his debut against the New York Giants in Week 1. However, his opening NFL game ended in defeat as Dallas lost by a 20-19 margin. But that did not stop Dak who went on to lead the Cowboys to a 13-3 record and the NFC East title in his rookie year.

They did lose to the Green Bay Packers in the playoffs but Prescott was named to the Pro Bowl and even voted the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year ahead of teammate Ezekiel Elliott, receiving 28 of 50 votes. He made his debut on the NFL Top 100 List at number 14 the following year.

Dak Prescott Record

Dak Prescott broke the record for most consecutive pass attempts without an interception to start a career, with 176 attempts in Week 6 of the 2016 season. Tom Brady previously held the record. Prescott finished his 2016 rookie regular season with a record 11 games with an over 100 NFL passer rating, breaking the rookie record of nine games set by Russell Wilson in 2012.

He tied the Ben Roethlisberger 2004 rookie record of winning 13 games as a starter. Prescott threw 23 touchdowns and 4 interceptions for a touchdown to interception ratio of 5.75 breaking the previous rookie record of 4.00 (20 touchdowns and 5 interceptions) set by Robert Griffin III, and for a touchdown to interception differential of 19 breaking Russell Wilson's rookie record of 16.

In a game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on December 18, 2016, Prescott, with an 88.9% completion percentage, broke the rookie single-game record of 87.0% set by Mike Glennon in 2013.

Dak Prescott Net Worth

The Cowboys number 4 reportedly has a net worth of $2 million as per Celebrity Net Worth. However, we suspect that they haven't taken into account his massive $31.4 million franchise tag which was activated prior to the 2020 NFL season.

In addition to that, it is being reported that Dak earns five-times his on-field salary from his endorsement deals with Adidas, Pepsi and other brands. He earns further revenue from his licensing deals. So his net worth remains shrouded in a bit of a grey cloud.

The Cowboys placed the exclusive franchise tag on Prescott for the second consecutive season on March 9, 2021, and he signed a four-year contract extension with the Cowboys the next day for $160 million with $126 million guaranteed. The deal included a $66 million signing bonus, as per ESPN.
