Garrett preferred Connor Cook over Dak Prescott in 2016

Jason Garrett, former head coach of the Dallas Cowboys, revealed he preferred Michigan State quarterback Connor Cook over Dak Prescott during the 2016 NFL Draft. Garrett had concerns about Prescott's transition from a shotgun offense. Despite these concerns, Prescott became the starting quarterback after an injury to Tony Romo. He led the Cowboys to 13 wins in his rookie season and has since earned three Pro Bowl selections. However, the Cowboys have struggled in the playoffs under Prescott, raising questions about his future with the team. He signed a $240 million deal last offseason, but the team's direction regarding high-priced quarterbacks remains uncertain.
