FRISCO, Texas -- Jon Kitna did not come into his job as Dallas Cowboys quarterbacks coach with intent of revamping Dak Prescott.

Why? "You don't need to with him," Kitna said.

Prescott has 67 touchdown passes to 25 interceptions in his first three seasons. He has 18 rushing touchdowns. He has not thrown for 4,000 yards in a season yet, reaching a career-high 3,885 in 2018, but that is in part due to the Cowboys' run-first style.

Most importantly, he has a 32-16 record in three years and is looking at a new contract. Whenever Prescott's deal is finalized, it will be the richest in team history.

"There's always room for improvement," Kitna said. "For him, it's continuing to define that together and working together. It's really little things."

How little?

"I mean it can be as minute as a 1-2-inch turn in your right ankle, honestly," Kitna said. "And about getting everything in line and all that stuff. The good thing for him is he works hard at that stuff already."

For the second straight offseason, Prescott is working with 3DQB, the group headed by former pitching coach Tom House that counts Tom Brady and Drew Brees among its pupils. The basis of that teaching for quarterbacks is from the ground up, using the lower body to deliver passes in tight areas with proper footwork.

"It's just about how I can make an accurate throw from any position no matter if I'm backpedaling, across my body, somebody's in my face and I have to roll left and have to throw it right," Prescott said. "It's about finding where you find your most strength from any position."

If there has been a knock on Prescott in his three seasons, it has been related to his accuracy. He has completed 66.1 percent of his passes, but there have been times his footwork has betrayed him and cost him on big or even drive-sustaining plays.

The message from Kitna, as well as from Cowboys offensive coordinator Kellen Moore, is the same as that which Prescott receives from John Beck, his 3DQB coach.

"Actually in stuff Kit has been doing, it goes off of that," Prescott said. "'It's OK, if your feet are here, let's make that throw easier.' Nothing contradicts each other."

Kitna is in his first few months as an NFL quarterbacks coach, but he comes with the prestige of a 14-year pro career in which he threw for 29,745 yards and made 124 starts. He coached high school football in Washington, Texas and Arizona before accepting Cowboys coach Jason Garrett's offer.

"It's hard in high school to get those kids to understand the smallest details matter," Kitna said. "But at the pro level, they do understand when you have to take an extra hitch how that really affects things down the field. I never even actually coached quarterbacks in high school because I knew I would be too technical for them and they wouldn't be able to understand it. Even though it was my sons, I would talk through game plays but not necessarily the fundamentals."

With Prescott, the discussions are about proper depth on three-, five- and seven-step drops because that is tied to how the tackle goes about his pass protection. It's about aggressively getting away from the center after taking the snap to make sure the timing on each play looks the same, run or pass. It's about small movements in the pocket to avoid one rusher while not stepping into the face of another.

"All those little things that matter," Kitna said. "Where your weight is, your weight distribution, how you come out from center, how you land, where your foot is, all that stuff. We don't want to be to the point where you get bogged down thinking about those things. But I think that's what the offseason is for."

It is not about Prescott's throwing motion.

"I had a chance to play with Warren Moon in my second and third year and I feel like [Prescott] throws the ball very similar to Warren," Kitna said. "And that's one of the tightest spirals you'll ever see."

When Kitna mentioned that to Prescott, the quarterback was flattered.

"I'll take it," Prescott said. "Played forever. Hall of Famer. He can throw it."

Kitna said his biggest influences were Ken Zampese, his coach in Cincinnati for three seasons, and Mike Martz, his coach in Detroit when he threw for more than 4,000 yards both times. Beyond the fundamentals, he believes his biggest influence on Prescott will be understanding the defensive concepts before the snap in order to eliminate certain throws.

When Kitna played, he connected with teammates on both sides of the ball in a similar fashion to Prescott.

"They just have a really infectious spirit about them that's contagious," Garrett said.

Kitna will not be shy. He will point out Prescott's flaws. He will stay on him on the smallest of details, which is something Prescott has learned early in the offseason program.

"As you get on the field, it's much more than I could honestly ask for," Prescott said. "Just in the first two days and the teaching sessions, he's going to push me. That's what I ask for. He's going to make me a better player, even when he's got me out there dead tired and I'm drenched. Bring it. Keep coming.

"I want more. That's how I've had success, and I know he'll lead me to it."
