Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is the highest-paid passer in the NFL ($60 million per year), and all eyes are on him heading into next season given his astronomical salary and the sky-high expectations for the team given the offseason moves they\u2019ve made.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Cowboys bolstered their running back room with rookie fifth-round pick Jaydon Blue plus veterans Miles Sanders and Javonte Williams, gave Prescott another weapon to throw to in former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens, and upgraded the protection in front of Prescott with first-round rookie guard Tyler Booker.<\/p>\n
With training camp just a few weeks away, it\u2019s no surprise that Prescott is a much-talked about topic on social media, but he was trending on X earlier this week for a rather unforeseen reason.<\/p>\n
X user ML Football posted about Prescott\u2019s 1.4 GPA at Haughton High School (which was confirmed by MaxPreps) in Louisiana, which got plenty of people talking in the comment section\u2014good and bad.<\/p>\n
