Don't ever accuse Dak Prescott of lacking confidence.

The rookie quarterback stepped in as a fourth-round compensatory pick for the Dallas Cowboys to not only fill the monumental shoes of Tony Romo, but he supplanted him in the process. One historic regular season later, Prescott was at his first NFL Pro Bowl having a grand ole time, although he laments not being en route to Houston for Super Bowl 51.

He does believe two things, however:

1. The Cowboys will be perennial contenders, and

2. Tom Brady is almost unbeatable.

"We'll make another run," said Prescott when asked about how the 2016 season ended. "We plan to make a run every year."

And although he says it'll be "hard" watching the Super Bowl as opposed to playing in it, his vote is on New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady hoisting the Lombardi trophy once again. He does, however, believe there's one guy who could've beat him in Houston.

"Tom Brady is Tom Brady. You can't beat him," said the rookie QB before laughingly tossing out one huge caveat to that statement. "Except for me."

Prescott took ownership of the NFL record for most consecutive passes without throwing an interception to start a career, a mark once held by Brady. What the outcome would be should the two meet on the field, however, is a score to be settled at a later time.

The Cowboys did not play the Patriots at all in 2016, and aren't scheduled to do so in the 2017 regular season.

So if Prescott wants his shot at "Tom Terrific", he'll have to help the Cowboys do better than the NFC Divisional Round.
