Between the\u00a0NFL\u00a0and\u00a0college football, there’s no shortage of quarterback comparisons tossed out by analysts, fans and even other players.<\/p>\n

However, comparisons to a few NFL quarterbacks stand head-and-shoulders above the rest. Players such as\u00a0Tom Brady, Peyton Manning,\u00a0Patrick Mahomes,\u00a0Lamar Jackson\u00a0and\u00a0Aaron Rodgers\u00a0are among the golden standard.<\/p>\n

That list is what makes former\u00a0Dallas Cowboys\u00a0quarterback Troy Aikman’s recent comments about Dak Prescott so noteworthy. The NFL analyst and Hall-of-Famer turned more than a few heads when he compared Prescott to not one but two of the names mentioned above.<\/p>\n

During an interview with\u00a0Sportsradio 96.7 FM\/1310 The Ticket, Aikman praised Prescott’s ability to elevate the play of his wide receivers and pass-catchers. He referenced Prescott’s ball placement, comparing it to Mahomes and Rodgers.<\/p>\n

Via\u00a0The Dallas Morning News:<\/p>\n

\u201cA quarterback can put the ball in places [where] you don\u2019t have to be a great receiver in order to be able to make the play, or you\u2019re able to get into plays that gives your team the best chance,” Aikman explained<\/p>\n

“We\u2019ve seen it from Patrick Mahomes. We\u2019ve seen it from Aaron Rodgers. Over the years. We\u2019ve seen it from a lot of guys. I believe we\u2019ve seen it from Dak as well.”<\/p>\n

Prescott had a bit of Mahomes magic in the Cowboys’ Week 5 win over the\u00a0Pittsburgh Steelers. After an up-and-down start to the night that included three turnovers (two in the red zone), the three-time Pro Bowler stepped up late in the game. He led two fourth-quarter scoring drives and threw the game-winning touchdown with 20 seconds remaining.<\/p>\n
