Dak Prescott shouldn't assume he's got the job as the Dallas Cowboys' backup QB. Because Jason Garrett might want it.

After all, the Cowboys coach made a career of backing up Troy Aikman in the '90s, and Garrett showed he's still got it this week at practice.

Watch the 50-year-old nail the target in the video above, after Prescott was a little wide of the mark.

Garrett already has stepped under center at practice after Kellen Moore went down with a broken ankle earlier this month, taking some third-string snaps for his shorthanded offense.

Check out an extended clip of the competition, including attempts by Tony Romo and others and the surprise winner — punter Chris Jones — in the video below.

It's a wrap in Oxnard but you'll never guess who won the final competition of #CowboysCamp https://t.co/6V71JRAdAo
