The
Dallas Cowboys had one player be selected in the first batch of rankings, but it might surprise you who it is.
PFF ranked quarterback Dak Prescott as the 50th best player in football right now. Here’s what the guys at
PFF had to say about the Cowboys’ signal-caller.
Prescott was in the midst of a career year before a nasty injury took him off the field after just five weeks of action. In those five weeks (four full games and 22 dropbacks of Week 5), he passed for 1,856 yards and accounted for the same number of total touchdowns
Daniel Jones recorded over the full season for the Giants.
Prescott put up a PFF grade of 85.2, and he had the Dallas offense looking like one of the best in the game. If he returns healthy in 2021, he should be one of the best players in the game once more.
While Prescott is coming off a very serious injury, having him ranked as the 50th best player in football is a bit of a head-scratcher. If healthy, Prescott is a clear top five or six quarterback in this league. With him at the 50 spot, PFF likely will have at least five, or even potentially six or more quarterbacks (Mahomes, Rodgers, Wilson, Jackson, Brady, Watson, Allen) ranked ahead of him.
