STM Take

Prescott climbed from STTM #23 tier 6 in 2024 back to #6 tier 2 in 2025, the same shape his career has shown twice already: injury-driven dip followed by a clean rebound year. Five years of starting data now put him squarely in the second tier as a baseline, with tier-1 spikes available when healthy. Top-five MVP voting last cycle keeps the ceiling honest.

Prescott was born in Sulphur, Louisiana and was a two-time first-team All-SEC pick at Mississippi State before Dallas took him in the fourth round of the 2016 NFL Draft. He was named Offensive Rookie of the Year, has since made four Pro Bowls, led the league in passing touchdowns in 2023, and finished second in the 2023 MVP vote. He received the Walter Payton Man of the Year award in 2022 and ranks eighth in NFL career passer rating.

Strengths

Eighth all-time in career passer rating with at least 1,500 attempts, a top-tier efficiency profile built across a full decade.
Bounced from STTM #23 tier 6 to STTM #6 tier 2 in one year, mirroring his 2021-to-2023 recovery.

Concerns

Two tier-6 seasons in the last four years; the injury-driven dip is now a pattern, not an outlier.
Career interception rate (92 picks on 4,759 attempts) is the soft spot of an otherwise efficient profile and tends to spike in his down years.

What to watch: Whether he plays a full 17 games. Every tier-1 spike on his card sits inside a healthy season.
