In FOX Sports’ latest consensus NFL quarterback rankings, Dallas Cowboys star Dak Prescott landed at No. 7.
Prescott is one spot ahead of Jordan Love of the Green Bay Packers and one spot behind Drake Maye of the New England Patriots.
What FOX Sports Said About Prescott
Prescott had his fourth 4,000-yard passing season in 2025.
However, the Cowboys missed the playoffs for the second consecutive season.
As everyone who covers the NFL knows, Prescott has never guided Dallas to the promised land.
“While playoff success has eluded him, Prescott has long been considered a top-10 quarterback,” FOX Sports wrote. “The 33-year-old this past season led the NFL in completions for the second time in his career (404) and registered his fourth 4,000-yard passing season. The former fourth-round pick ranked in the top five in passing yards, passing touchdowns, EPA (expected points added) per dropback and completion rate over expected in 2025.
“Notably, Prescott is one of the NFL’s most aggressive passers. He led the league in tight window rate for the third time in the last four years last season. Entering his second year with the CeeDee Lamb–George Pickens tandem at receiver, the four-time Pro Bowler is positioned to continue putting up big numbers in 2026.”
Prescott Put Up Incredible Numbers In 2025
For the Cowboys last season, Prescott put up 4,552 passing yards, 30 passing touchdowns, 10 interceptions, 177 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns.
The four-time Pro Bowler played in all 17 regular-season games, going 7-9-1 while completing 67.3% of his passes.
Prescott was ranked 31st on the NFL Top 100 Players list. The veteran was No. 79 in 2025. He went up 48 spots after his terrific 2025 season.
Prescott Has Super Bowl On His Mind
Prescott enters this season 83-55-1 in the regular season and 2-5 in the playoffs as Dallas’ starting quarterback.
The 33-year-old understands how badly Cowboys fans want to celebrate a Super Bowl win and he’s not shying away from those lofty goals.
The 2016 Offensive Rookie of the Year, Prescott wore a vintage T-shirt from the Cowboys’ last Super Bowl appearance — Super Bowl XXX in 1995 — when the team arrived in Oxnard, California, for training camp. It seems Prescott is trying to speak things into existence this year.
“We want stuff in life a lot of times, but then when people start talking about it, you kind of hesitate. ‘Should I say that if they’re going to hold me to it?'” Prescott said, via ESPN. “Well, absolutely. Playing in this organization, being in it 10 years, going into year 11, I’m not going to shy away from it. When you don’t have it, it sucks when you don’t get to play for it. When you’re watching other teams play in the playoffs, there’s nothing worse than that. And so, yeah, I said I’d be the quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys when I was 6 years old and said I’d be in the NFL, and I got here.
“A lot of things in my life, I said I’d do and I did it. And so why shy away from that now? Why shy away from asking people to hold me to the same standard that I believe that I can accomplish and this team can accomplish?”
Prescott has 35,989 passing yards, 243 passing touchdowns, 2,115 rushing yards and 31 rushing touchdowns in the regular season and 1,962 passing yards, 14 passing touchdowns, 163 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns in the playoffs.
He’s one of the best QBs of his generation despite not having a Super Bowl ring.
