The Facts: Prescott is the best rookie passer ever, at least if you buy into the NFL's passer rating formula. Prescott finished the regular season with a passer rating of 104.9. That's the best passer rating for a rookie in NFL history, breaking the previous record of 102.4, set by Robert Griffin III in 2012.
Diehards Line:With four interceptions in 459 pass attempts, Prescott also had the lowest interception percentage for a rookie in NFL history. As PFT's Michael David Smith suggests, no one saw such a rookie year coming for Prescott, who was chosen in the fourth round of the NFL draft in the thought that he might some day develop into a successor to Tony Romo. When Romo got hurt, it was viewed as a catastrophe for the Cowboys’ 2016 season. The way Prescott has played turned that injury into a blessing in disguise.
