Now in his second-year as quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys, Prescott has been not only the consummate team player and leader on the field -- he's also those things off of it, consistently working to make his late mother Peggy proud. It's in that spirit that the Haughton, LA native says, despite already making millions between his NFL salary and a slew of new endorsement deals, he'll be heading back to school at some point to receive his doctorate in psychology.

From all accounts of his time at MSU - he's fairly bright. He finished with a master's degree while a player. That happens, but its not a common occurrence.

I didn't know about his academic performance while at MSU. I suppose if he can score high enough on the GRE he could get into a program.

If he's successful, can we call him Dr. Football?

Good for Dak- always a good thing to continue your education. Cute, talented and smart- Dak's pretty much a badass.

yeah because there's no way he would've seen the field at qb for the tigers. Just too much talent there

Trying to anticipate Jerry's moves before he makes them. Props to Dak.

Clinical Psychologists can do quite well. The program takes forever, though (I think).

Yes you are right.

LSU had who playing QB in 2013-14-15 that was better than Dak?

Crickets
