Everybody wants a piece of Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott these days.
After a breakout rookie season in which he won the NFL’s Offensive Rookie of the Year award, the former Mississippi State star is a hot commodity with advertisers.
In fact, according to an ESPN.com report, Prescott will make nearly five times his NFL salary in endorsement deals this year.
Granted, that’s because his NFL salary is only $540,000 as he enters the second year of his rookie contract, so it’s not as if he’s making Matthew Stafford-type money ($51 million).
Still, an extra $2.5 million on top of his base salary will be a welcome addition for the rising star, who hopes to lead the Cowboys to another playoff appearance this year.
The Cowboys start their 2017 season on Sunday night against the New York Giants. The game kicks off at 8:30 p.m. Eastern time and can be seen on NBC.
