"He's one of the best young players that I've been around," Aikman said of Prescott, who posted career highs of 4,902 yards passing and 30 touchdowns last season. "I think sometimes leaderships and leaders gets thrown around. Those words get thrown around in maybe a way that's not reflective of maybe the players. But this guy in every sense of those words is what he is. His teammates love playing for him. He has an energy and a charisma about him that I haven't seen in very many guys. I think for the most part he's matched that in his play and the progress that he's made."
