Mississippi State football legend Dak Prescott has become one of the biggest names in sports since leaving Starkville. Prescott played at MSU from 2012 to 2015 and left campus as the most iconic figure in the program's history, leading the Bulldogs to number one in the polls and appearing on the cover of Sports Illustrated.

The 31-year-old quarterback is entering his contract year with the Dallas Cowboys, with whom he started his career, and many wonder if this is his final season. Being the quarterback of the Cowboys is a thankless job due to the excessive media attention and scrutiny.

Prescott has put up MVP-level numbers but has struggled to make the playoffs. This season will likely be no different, as Dallas's overall roster has regressed, but he must avoid bottoming out.

The former Walter Payton Man of the Year award recipient must keep playing at a high level to ensure he still has many suitors in free agency next season if he opts to head elsewhere. The pair's relationship has been toxic, and maybe it will be best if Prescott is wearing a new jersey this time next year.
