Positive signalProjection

Prescott's Tier 1 votes jumped sharply; ranks No. 1 in EPA per pass play 2023–25.

Prescott got nearly as many Tier 1 votes this year (12) as he'd gotten across nine previous QB Tiers appearances (14), making the fifth-largest year-over-year jump in average tier vote despite already ranking solidly in Tier 2. Across 2023 and 2025, he ranks No. 1 in EPA per pass play among a dozen QBs with at least 30 starts in those seasons. Five of 10 defensive coordinators placed him in the top tier, with his average tier vote from defensive coaches (1.54) much better than from offensive coaches (2.0)—the second-largest gap in that direction behind only Tua Tagovailoa.
