Although he doesn't fit the pro-style mold yet, Mississippi State quarterback Dak Prescott had a promising first day, and grew comfortable working under center and running playaction. Prescott's throws outside had plenty of velocity, and he displayed patience in the pocket, opting to rely more on his arm rather than his feet. His footwork when he throws also gives him a nice, easy delivery with plenty of zip.My favorite play of Prescott's in a team period came when he found Kansas State's Glenn Gronkowski (a fullback working this week as a tight end) up the left sideline. Prescott went through his reads, didn't panic and then saw Gronkowski flashing open 20 yards up the right sideline.
Prescott forced the safeties up by moving up as though he would run, then fired a strike that was perfectly placed outside Gronkowski for a 31-yard gain.
He is a polarizing prospect in draft circles, but I'm on the positive side. The intangibles are there, as Mississippi State and SEC fans know. Tuesday, he looked like a 21st-century NFL quarterback.
