Dak Prescott = Former Miami Heat Guard, Dwyane Wade

At first I tried comparing Prescott to a point guard, because of the similarities in positions.

But after some thought, the best comparison I could make was with a young Dwyane Wade.

Let’s take a look at Dak Prescott’s game.

He’s an accurate passer from short and medium, but struggles on the deep ball.

Also, he can buy time with his mobility and is great as a red-zone runner.

This is very similar to a young Wade, who was exceptional inside the three-point line but struggled from deep.

He was also one of the most athletic guards in the NBA, featuring both power and speed.

Similar to the way Prescott will either run over or around defenders, near the goal line.

Finally, both display a very professional demeanor and have been featured in plenty of commercials, since turning pro.
