STARKVILLE, Miss. – Dak Prescott put together the greatest rookie season by a quarterback in NFL history, just a year after concluding a storied career at Mississippi State. The former All-American and NFL Rookie of the Year joined Matt Wyatt for this week's "Bully Pulpit" podcast to discuss his spectacular debut with the Dallas Cowboys and reflect on his time in Starkville.
The complete interview can be heard on MSU's SoundCloud and iTunes pages. Fans can bookmark Soundcloud.com/HailState or search "Mississippi State Athletics" in the iTunes store for previous episodes as well.
Prescott talked about his relationship with head coach Dan Mullen from the time they first met to today.
"He's an honest man," Prescott said. "He was honest from the get go on his expectations of me, on what he was going to do with playing time. From the first time I met him, I wasn't going to play until I was ready to play. He was going to push me, and I was going to work the hardest I have ever worked in my life. That's everything that Mississippi State is about."
Prescott also discussed what Mullen and the staff stressed in the film room in preparation for gamedays.
"He's detailed and I think that's the most important quality," Prescott said. "He's detailed on the field and in the film room. It's detailed when it comes to meetings. It's detailed when it comes to scheduling. I went to Mississippi State not knowing anything about the true X's and O's of the game of football. It's truly a credit to him, his offensive coaches and the way they pushed me this season."
