Mississippi State QB Dak Prescott comfortable with Cowboys staff
Jeffrey Kahn - 3 hours ago
Dak Prescott is starting to get comfortable with the Dallas Cowboys coaching staff.
Just last week, the former Mississippi State quarterback had a private workout with Cowboys quarterbacks coach Wade Wilson. Before that, Prescott had met with the Cowboys at the NFL Scouting Combine in February.
The Cowboys got to take their first look at Prescott going against him during the Senior Bowl in late January. Prescott impressed as he completed 7-of-10 passes for 61 yards and one touchdown in the game for the South squad. The quarterback also added 13 rushing yards. However, the Cowboys didn't get to meet much with Prescott while in Alabama as the coaching staff was in charge of the North squad.
Still, with all the draft preparations in the last few months, the quarterback has certainly reached a sense of familiarity with the Cowboys.
"I feel like I know a couple of staffs pretty well, staffs I have a good feeling about, and the Cowboys are definitely one of them," Prescott said, via NFL.com.
Prescott was able to detail the aforementioned private workout with the Cowboys which included an introduction to the team's route concepts.
"[Coach Wilson] showed me some specifics about which dropbacks go with the routes, then we went in and watched some film for another 45 minutes or so," Prescott said. "They had some questions about our offense and what my responsibilities are on certain plays, my reads, my checks. Coach Wilson spent some time showing me where the similarities are between their offense and what I did here, just kind of making connections where they could be made."
Per CBS Sports, Prescott is projected to go in the third or fourth round of the 2016 NFL Draft. It's to be seen how much a recent off-field incident will hurt his draft stock come late April. Regardless, the Cowboys and Prescott have gotten to know each other quite well.

This shit is really going to happen, isn't it?
