OXNARD, Calif. — Dallas Cowboys offensive coordinator Scott Linehan chuckled when asked what he remembers about his starting quarterback early in last year’s training camp.
"Dak Prescott was splitting third-team reps with Jameil Showers," said Linehan, referring to an undrafted QB who was since converted to safety. "The media was all over Dak, asking what was wrong with him."
Those concerns quickly faded after an unexpected opportunity presented itself. Prescott replaced an injured Tony Romo and exceeded all expectations by enjoying one of the most successful rookie seasons in NFL history.
Prescott now has a new set of questions to answer after leading Dallas to a 13-3 regular-season record in 2016. The biggest: Can Prescott avoid a "sophomore slump" in his second NFL season and continue taking steps toward becoming an elite-level passer?
Prescott addressed that challenge and more in an interview with co-host Gil Brandt and me that aired Thursday on SiriusXM NFL Radio.
Cowboys' Dak Prescott on a new level in 2017: 'I know exactly what I’m doing'
It's ok. He knows exactly what he is doing.
