Dak Prescott has landed at No. 31 in the NFL's Top 100 list, his third-highest placement in his 11-year career.
The annual ranking, voted on by NFL players, reflects both respect across the league and the ongoing debate about Prescott's true standings among the elite quarterbacks. Prescott's 2025 campaign provided a strong foundation for his inclusion in the upper tier of the list after throwing for 4,552 yards, good for third most in the NFL, and 30 touchdowns, fourth-best league-wide.
Under his command, the Dallas Cowboys had the second most total yards (6,663), passing yards (4,527), and yards per game (391.9). Their 471 points scored were seventh most in the NFL, which averages out to 27.7 points per game.
Prescott's ranking at No. 31 also reflects the crowded landscape at the quarterback position. He finished ahead of 12 named quarterbacks, but there are still five names who will likely land inside the Top 100, including Matthew Stafford, Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, Drake Maye, and Sam Darnold.
Prescott joins his offensive mates in receivers CeeDee Lamb (55) and George Pickens (36) as the only Cowboys on the list. His placement is less about definitive judgment and more about the fine margins that separate the NFL's best.
If he can translate regular-season consistency into postseason success, a top-20, or even top-10 ranking could be well within reach. The upcoming season presents an opportunity for Prescott to climb even higher.
Prescott's ranking at No. 31 can be viewed as both validation and motivation. It confirms that he is firmly considered one of the league's top players, yet leaves room for upward mobility.
The fine margins that separate the NFL's best quarterbacks will be on full display as the 2026 season unfolds. Prescott's performance will be closely watched, and a strong showing could propel him into the top 20.
