Dallas Cowboys Case Study
This season, the Dallas Cowboys have been more than lucky by drafting the quarterback Dak Prescott. The decision to select the rookie player was made during their fourth round pick of the 2016 NFL Draft.
After franchise quarterback Tony Romo experienced a back injury during the preseason, Prescott was designated as starting quarterback for the beginning of the 2016 season. Prescott was supposed to maintain this position until Romo recovered, or at least that is what everyone presumed.

As the season continues, Prescott continues to break records and lead the cowboys to victory.
It’s fair to say the Cowboys are not only lucky, but they are fortunate to have brought on a quarterback who could quite possibly become the best to ever do
