Jimmy Garoppolo and Dak Prescott were both named in the top 50 as the NFL continued its countdown of the top 100 players on Monday, as voted for by the players themselves.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott came in at 46th having been omitted from the list altogether over the last two years. It comes after he threw for 4,902 yards (2nd) and 30 touchdowns (4th) as the Cowboys offense ranked first in the league in 2019.

Prescott will become the third quarterback in NFL history to play on the franchise tag through a season in 2020 after he and the Cowboys failed to reach an agreement over a new long-term extension this offseason.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Garoppolo meanwhile placed 43rd after reaching the Super Bowl in Miami, where Kyle Shanahan's side were beaten by the Kansas City Chiefs. Garoppolo threw for 3,978 yards (12th) and 27 touchdowns (tied-5th) last season.
