Dak Prescott will be heading to the NFL Pro Bowl for the fourth time in his career. On Tuesday, the Dallas Cowboys quarterback was named one of three NFC quarterbacks selected for the league's showcase of the year's top players. Several of Prescott’s teammates - wide receiver George Pickens and offensive lineman Tyler Smith - will join him in the San Francisco Bay Area during Super Bowl LX week for the Pro Bowl festivities.
