Dak Prescott has become a mainstay of the Dallas Cowboys organization for the last decade, and he’s now made franchise history.
The star quarterback stands alone as the team’s all-time leading passer.
Prescott needed 160 passing yards to surpass Tony Romo’s 34,183 passing yards that he accumulated from 2005 to 2016, and he reached that mark in the second half of Sunday’s contest against the Philadelphia Eagles with a pass to George Pickens.
Prescott, a fourth-round pick out of Mississippi State in 2016, took over as the Cowboys’ starter before the start of his rookie season after Romo suffered an injury, and he quickly established himself as an NFL-ready quarterback, winning Offensive Rookie of the Year.
He hasn’t looked back since earning the QB1 position and has carved out a tremendous career.
Prescott has recorded 4,000 or more passing yards three times in his career and is on pace to do so again this year. He threw for a career-high 4,902 yards in 2019, adding 30 touchdowns.
In 2023, Prescott logged 4,516 passing yards and 36 touchdowns and finished second in MVP voting. After that tremendous season, the Cowboys awarded him a massive four-year, $240 million contract, making him the highest-paid quarterback in NFL history by average salary.
As good as Prescott has been, he’s struggled to find success in the postseason, never advancing past the divisional round. The Cowboys have work to do to even get to the playoffs this year, as they sit at 4-5-1.
Prescott has already established himself as one of the best quarterbacks in Dallas history, but finally getting a Super Bowl ring would help put him among the NFL’s all-time greats.
