The Dallas Cowboys entered the 2016 NFL Draft with a plan to acquire a young quarterback to develop behind Tony Romo. After failing to trade up to select Paxton Lynch and Connor Cook,[23] they selected Prescott in the fourth round (135th overall).[24] The rookie moved up on the depth chart when backup quarterback Kellen Moore broke his right tibia during the first week of training camp and after the Cowboys couldn't reach an agreement with the Cleveland Browns to trade for backup Josh McCown.[25]
After Moore's injury, Prescott competed with second-year quarterback Jameill Showers for the backup job to established starter Tony Romo. Several reports from August training camp indicated that Showers outperformed Prescott, showing greater accuracy and a quicker release.[26] However, the Cowboys coaching staff made the decision to start Prescott in the team's preseason opener at the Los Angeles Rams. Working with the Cowboys' first-team offense, Prescott completed 10 of 12 passes for 139 yards and two touchdowns in one half of action, though Dallas would lose the game 28-24.[27] Prescott continued his hot streak throughout the rest of the preseason, impressing all with his veteran-like pocket poise and decision making.[28]
After starting quarterback Tony Romo suffered a vertebral compression fracture during the first quarter of the Cowboys' Week 3 preseason game against the Seattle Seahawks, and in light of Romo's projected 8–10 week recovery time,[29] Prescott was named the Cowboys starter for the beginning of the 2016 season.[30]
Prescott's first regular-season start came on September 11 at home versus the New York Giants, becoming the fourth rookie quarterback to open the season as a starter in franchise history, and the first rookie to start at quarterback for the Cowboys since Quincy Carter in 2001.[31] He totaled 227 passing yards, as the Cowboys lost, 20–19.[32] During Week 2 against the Washington Redskins, Prescott had 292 passing yards and a rushing touchdown. The Cowboys won, 27–23. Prescott threw his first NFL touchdown, a 17-yarder to Dez Bryant, during the Cowboys' Week 3 matchup against the Chicago Bears.[33] In total, he threw for 248 yards, the one touchdown, and also had a rushing score. The Cowboys won 31–17.[34] In Week 4 at the San Francisco 49ers, Prescott passed for two touchdowns and 245 yards as the Cowboys won, 24–17.[35] Against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 5, Prescott threw for 227 yards and a touchdown while running for another in a 28–14 Cowboys victory.[36] Week 6 the Cowboys faced the Green Bay Packers. Prescott had three touchdowns and 247 passing yards as the Cowboys won 30–16. The game marked the end of Prescott's interception-free streak.[37] After a Week 7 bye, the Cowboys faced off against the Philadelphia Eagles and fellow rookie quarterback Carson Wentz for their first career matchup. The Cowboys prevailed in overtime 29–23, with Prescott totaling three touchdowns (two passing and one rushing) and 287 passing yards.[36]
Week 9 saw the Cowboys beat the Cleveland Browns 35-10, with Prescott providing 247 passing yards and three touchdowns. In Week 10 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Cowboys won 35–30, with Prescott passing for 319 yards and three touchdowns. The Cowboys continued their win streak in Week 11 by beating the Baltimore Ravens 27–17 with Prescott throwing for 301 yards and three touchdowns. Week 12's annual Thanksgiving game provided a 31–26 win over the Washington Redskins. Prescott had two touchdowns (one rushing and one passing) and 195 passing yards.[36] His outstanding performance in November earned him Offensive Rookie of the Month.[38]
Week 13 the Cowboys beat the Minnesota Vikings 17-15, with Prescott passing for 139 yards and one touchdown. The next week the Cowboys were dealt their second loss on the season, by a score of 7-10, from division rival New York Giants, with Prescott passing for 169 yards and one touchdown in the contest. In Week 15 the Cowboys beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 26-20, with Prescott providing 279 passing yards and one rushing touchdown. Against the Detroit Lions in Week 16, the Cowboys won 42-21. Prescott passed for 212 yards and three touchdowns. In the Week 17 regular season finale, with the top playoff seed in the NFC clinched, the Cowboys decided to rest several starters. They lost to the Philadelphia Eagles 13-27, with Prescott only attempting eight passes for a total of 37 yards before being sent to the bench.
In the divisional round of the NFL playoffs, the Cowboys drew the Green Bay Packers as their opponent. Prescott completed 24 of 38 for 302 yards, with a quarterback rating 103.2, and three touchdowns and an interception. The Packers won the game 34–31, ending Prescott's rookie season.

NFL records
In Week 6 of the 2016 season, Prescott, with 176 attempts, broke the record for most consecutive pass attempts without an interception to start a career; a record previously held by Tom Brady at 162 attempts in 2000-2001. This is also the record for consecutive attempts without an interception by a rookie, having broken the record set by Carson Wentz at 134 earlier in 2016. Wentz and Prescott had been exchanging the rookie record after having broken the Chad Hutchinson record of 95 set in 2002.[42][43][44]
Prescott finished his 2016 rookie regular season with a record 11 games with an over 100 NFL passer rating, breaking the rookie record of 9 games set by Russell Wilson in 2012. He tied the Ben Roethlisberger 2004 rookie record of winning 13 games as a starter.[45][46][47] His NFL passer rating of 104.9 broke Robert Griffin III's rookie record of 102.4 set in 2012. His 0.87% interception to attempts (459-4) broke the rookie record of 1.27% (393-5) set by Robert Griffin III.[48][49] He threw 23 TDs and 4 INTs for a TD to INT ratio of 5.75 breaking the previous rookie record of 4.00 (20 TDs and 5 INTs) set by Robert Griffin III, and for a TD to INT differential of 19 breaking Russell Wilson's rookie record of 16 (26 TDs and 10 INTs).[50][51] His 67.76% pass completion percentage broke the rookie record of 66.44% set by Ben Roethlisberger.[52] In the game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on December 18, 2016, Prescott, with an 88.9% completion percentage, broke the rookie single game record of 87.0% set by Mike Glennon in 2013.[53][54]
Personal life
He is the son of Nathaniel and Peggy Prescott and has two older brothers, Tad and Jace, and an older sister Natalie Prescott-Smith and older brother Elliott Prescott from his father's previous marriage. Jace was an offensive lineman at Northwestern State. His mother died of colon cancer in November 2013.[3][55][56] His father is an African American and his late mother White American.[57]
On March 12, 2016, Prescott was arrested for driving under the influence in Starkville, Mississippi. Prescott took two breathalyzer tests, neither of which yielded a valid result. The first result was an "invalid sample" and the second was an "insufficient sample."[58][59] On July 27, 2016, he appeared in Starkville Municipal Court and was found not guilty on all charges.[60][61][62][63] Several sources have indicated that the DUI arrest caused Prescott to fall lower in the draft.[64][65][66]
