Dak Prescott is one of the most revered quarterbacks in the NFL today. The Cowboys’ star has been massively underrated during his time in the league.

While he spent much of his time last season on the sidelines due to an injury, his quality remains unquestioned. But could we be on the verge of seeing a new Dak Prescott in the league? One former quarterback believes so.

Former NFL quarterback Dan Orlovsky took to Twitter to laud NFL Draft prospect Trey Lance. He believes that Lance is very similar to Dak Prescott.

He noted that much like Prescott, he is a great passer, and can throw the ball deep. Furthermore, he has the ability to throw the ball in active movement and has great decision-making.

Coming from a fellow quarterback like Orlovski, this is high praise for Lance. Prescott is one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL currently.

His ability to lift a team just by his passing and overall performance is unparalleled, as we saw this season. To be compared to a player like Prescott is huge for Lance, and he will be hoping to live up to this comparison.
