Dak Prescott Falls 63 Spots After Injury-hit Season. Can He Bounce Back in 2025?

Dak Prescott has officially fallen 63 spots in the NFL's Top 100 Players list, plummeting from No. 16 in 2024 to No. 79 in 2025 — the biggest drop for any quarterback this year. Once hailed as a top-tier signal-caller after a career-best 2023 season, Prescott enters the new season with doubts swirling around his durability, efficiency, and elite status.

Much of Prescott’s decline can be traced to the injuries he battled during the 2024 campaign. A mid-season shoulder issue, followed by lingering ankle soreness, forced him to miss two key games and limited his mobility in several others. Though he returned down the stretch, his rhythm and mechanics never fully recovered, leading to inconsistent performances and untimely turnovers.

Statistically, Prescott’s regression was clear. He threw 24 touchdowns to 13 interceptions, down from 36 TDs and only 9 picks in 2023. His QBR dipped significantly, especially in late-game situations, where he struggled under pressure. The Cowboys’ offense also stalled, averaging just 20.4 points per game over the last six weeks — a far cry from their explosive output the year prior.

Injuries weren’t the only factor. Dallas’ offensive line suffered from instability, and the ground game lacked balance. Still, Prescott remained the emotional core of the locker room. With reports of a healthy offseason and a renewed focus heading into training camp, fans and analysts alike are watching to see whether this drop serves as fuel for a comeback narrative.

Chiefs Linked To Saints Super Star With 5x Pro Bowl & 2x All-Pro in Blockbuster Trade, Per Source
Kansas City, MO — According to a circulating on X (Twitter), the Kansas City Chiefs have been “linked” to Alvin Kamara—the New Orleans Saints superstar, five-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro—as a potential target ahead of the trade deadline. The speculation has heated up as various outlets have also floated Kamara as a logical “fit” should the Chiefs look to add a versatile, late-season playmaker on offense. At 30, Kamara is a rare dual-threat RB who excels as both a runner and receiver. He tied the NFL single-game record with six rushing touchdowns (Christmas Day 2020 vs. the Vikings), and he has recently been recognized as the Saints’ all-time leader in rushing yards. Across his career: 5× Pro Bowl, 2× Second-Team All-Pro, and a skill set tailor-made for Andy Reid’s motion/spacing concepts—screens, angle/choice routes, safe check-downs, and short play-action. Tactically, if a move ever materialized, Kamara would immediately put stress on short-to-intermediate coverages, force defenses to roll a safety, and give Kansas City intriguing two-back looks alongside Isiah Pacheco on 3rd-and-medium and in the red zone. In this hypothetical scenario, Kamara voices a desire for a fresh challenge after hitting so many personal milestones in New Orleans: “I’ve achieved just about everything with the Saints, and I want a new challenge for myself. What could be better than a team competing directly for a Super Bowl? Just thinking about wearing Red and Gold really excites me.” Source: @nflrums X As of now, there has been no official confirmation from the Chiefs or the Saints regarding any talks. Still, Kamara’s résumé and toolbox explain why his name is quickly paired with Kansas City whenever rumors of an offensive upgrade surface. With 5× Pro Bowls, 2× All-Pro honors, and a proven knack for tilting games as both a runner and receiver, even a whisper on social media is enough to make Chiefs Kingdom perk up.
