3. Dallas Cowboys

With the fourth overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft, the Dallas Cowboys knew Ezekiel Elliott was too much of a stud to pass on when seeing the type of career he put together during his time at Ohio State. Even later in the draft when Dak Prescott was selected, the Cowboys had a feeling the rookie had potential to develop into the perfect replacement for Tony Romo when the time was right.

Turns out, that time came faster than expected as these two rookies helped Dallas become one of the biggest and best surprises from the 2016 season after finishing with a 13-3 record. Even if their dreams of reaching the Super Bowl fell short following a heartbreaking loss to the Green Bay Packers, it’s scary to think about the potential surrounding the Cowboys’ offense if they already dominated this much with two rookies leading the way.

If they managed to earn the No. 1 seed in the NFC during Prescott and Elliott’s first season, just imagine what could be in store for them in year two with the Cowboys. As for Romo’s future with the team, only time will tell where the veteran ends up for the 2017 season, whether it’s with Dallas or a completely different team.
