The Dallas Cowboys’ 2024 season is in free fall. Dallas lost to the Houston Texans on Monday night to drop to 3-7 on the season, and an in-season turnaround appears to be unlikely with quarterback Dak Prescott out for the year, leaving Mike McCarthy’s status as the Cowboys’ head coach uncertain.

The younger Sanders has been among the best quarterbacks in college football this season, completing 72.9% of his passes for 3,222 yards, 27 touchdowns and seven interceptions to go with four rushing touchdowns.
Those stats, along with his arm and ability to operate in the pocket, have made Shedeur one of the top quarterback prospects in the 2025 NFL Draft. But while his son will head to the NFL…
