The rivalry between the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles runs deep, and now family members are getting involved.
During an appearance on the I AM ATHLETE podcast, Tad Prescott, the brother of Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott, was asked to name his top 10 quarterbacks in the NFL and he conveniently left Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts off his list. When asked why Hurts was omitted, he responded, “You said quarterbacks, not running backs.”
Tad Prescott’s top 10 current NFL QBs:
1. Patrick Mahomes
2. Dak Prescott
3. Lamar Jackson
4. Josh Allen
5. Aaron Rodgers
6. Joe Burrow
7. Tua Tagovailoa
8. Jared Goff
9. Matthew Stafford

Hurts set an NFL record for rushing touchdowns by a quarterback with 15 during the 2023 season, surpassing the previous mark of 14 that he shared with Cam Newton. He now ranks fourth all-time with 41 career rushing touchdowns behind Newton (75), Buffalo Bills star quarterback Josh Allen (51) and Hall of Famer Steve Young (43).
Still, Hurts is no slouch as a passer, as he has completed over 65 percent of his passes and threw for over 20 touchdowns in each of the past two seasons. The shade from Prescott’s brother will only add more fuel to the fire when the Cowboys and Eagles meet twice in 2024.
