...Here's the official press text the Pro Football Hall of Fame sent out.
The Pro Football Hall of Fame just received a football used by Dak Prescott in the Dallas Cowboys final regular season game of 2016 season against the Philadelphia Eagles on New Year’s Day. The football represents the fact that Dak finished the regular season with a 104.9 passer rating and surpassed Robert Griffin (102.4 in 2012) for the highest single-season passer rating by a rookie quarterback in NFL history. RGIII’s rookie jersey is already on display in the Pro Football Today Gallery, and Dak’s was just put on display today next to his teammate Ezekiel Elliot’s jersey.
See below for a list of Dak’s accomplishments that already landed him in the Hall of Fame.
- Had 13 wins as a starter, tied with Ben Roethlisberger (2004) for the most wins by a rookie starting quarterback in NFL history.
- Passed for 23 touchdowns with four interceptions and his 0.9 interception percentage is the lowest by a rookie quarterback in NFL history (minimum 200 passing attempts).
- Had 11 games with a 100+ passer rating, tied for the third-most in a single season in NFL history.
- Finished the season with a 104.9 passer rating, the highest single-season passer rating by a rookie quarterback in NFL history.
- Had multiple touchdown passes in five consecutive games in Weeks 6-11, tied for the longest such streak by a rookie in NFL history.
- Had 176 pass attempts without an interception to begin the season, surpassing Tom Brady (162) for the most pass attempts without an interception to start a career.
- Completed 32 of 36 passes (88.9 percent) for 279 yards in Week 15, the second-highest completion percentage in a single game in NFL history (with a minimum of 30 attempts)...
