The Dallas Cowboys have a new face of the franchise in quarterback Dak Prescott. The Mississippi State product has been everything the team wanted and more as they made the transition to move on from Tony Romo.

One of Prescott's best attributes early on in his career is his ability not to get rattled with no moment too big for the second-year quarterback. Prescott continues to show poise as he builds his legacy as one of the best gunslingers in the NFL and recently talked about one of the few times he gets nervous, via ESPN's Todd Archer.

“Early in the week, you catch me on Tuesday, that’s when I’m nervous the most,” the Dallas Cowboys quarterback said. “That’s when I know I guess you could say everything that I’m going to have to do within the week to be ready for Sunday, so when Sunday comes I’ve done all the work now it’s just time to play football and be that kid that fell in love with the game when I was six years old or whatever.”

In eight games during his sophomore campaign, Prescott has thrown for 1,818 yards, 16 touchdowns, and four interceptions. The 24-year-old is on pace to match or potentially surpass his stats from his impressive rookie season in which he threw for 3,667 yards, 23 touchdowns, and four interceptions.

With the bright lights in Dallas not fazing the promising young quarterback, the Cowboys appear to have their new franchise player alongside talented running back Ezekiel Elliott. In the meantime, Prescott and company will try to keep up with Carson Wentz's Philadelphia Eagles (8-1) who have lost only one game so far this season.
