The Facts: It will be several months before it is truly known if Prescott can improve on what was the best season of any rookie quarterback in NFL history. But it won't be because of a lack of effort, work ethic or desire. In those areas, Prescott is already a better player and a better quarterback. QBs coach Wade Wilson said Prescott has surpassed his rookie numbers in the team's off-season program in terms of speed, strength and agility.

Diehards Line: Tested with his teammates in the 20-yard dash, bench press, cone drills, vertical jump among others, Prescott is faster and stronger heading into his second season. “They tested last Monday,” Wilson said Wednesday. “He has improved strength-wise, flexibility-wise, speed-wise, quickness-wise. He is not resting on anything that went on last year.” It was leadership and work ethic that caught the Cowboys’ attention last year when he joined them as a fourth-round developmental project from Mississippi State before taking over in preseason for an injured Tony Romo. He seems to be building on that. Wilson said nothing was “too big for that kid” and “nothing fazed him” so he expects no drop off in Year 2, now that Romo has gone to the broadcast booth, leaving him as starting quarterback.
