How things can change in a year. In August 2016, Tony Romo seemed healthy again and the Dallas Cowboys were hoping for some production out of their new running back out of Ohio State.
Instead, the NFL’s glitz and glamour franchise would be led by a new rookie QB, the young, inexperienced back would become Rookie of the Year and Romo’s next NFL game would be as a broadcaster.

e the rookie cards of Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott drove trading card sales to new heights for months, no game-worn jerseys from either player had made their way to auction–until now.
Heritage Auctions is offering rookie gamers from both last year’s most talked about rookies in its August Platinum Night event, with bidding slated to close August 19-20.
The Elliott jersey was worn in the first half of a week 10 game at Pittsburgh, when he caught a screen pass and rolled 83 yards for what turned out to be his longest scoring play of the year. Unwashed, it retains many of the stains from that late afternoon contest.
Prescott’s #4 jersey was worn in the December 11 contest against the New York Giants. Already in command of the NFC East, he threw his 20th career touchdown pass in a 10-7 loss to the New York Giants.
Both jerseys have been photo-matched and come with letters of authenticity from the Cowboys. According to Heritage, each is expected to sell for at least $10,000.
