Prescott Surges to Top 7 in Coach Poll | Dallas Cowboys News

Dak Prescott just soared to No. 7 in SI’s NFL coaches and GMs poll—his highest ever—with 49 points and one first-place vote, appearing on 26 of 104 ballots from elite insiders. Rising from nowhere last year (11th in 2024) and only his second top-10 finish since 2020, Prescott’s leap signals growing respect as a field general. Coaches rave about the Cowboys’ “scary” talent around him, especially after he threw for 4,500+ yards and 30 TDs despite CeeDee Lamb’s absence. Though the team missed the playoffs again, Prescott’s leadership is driving defensive upgrades—and he’s locked in with a $240M extension through 2028. At 11 seasons old, he’s proving he’s still got plenty left in the tank as the Cowboys kick off their season Sept. 13.
