A dry and pretentious person, a pretzel is used as a metaphor. This is because pretzel snacks have pretended to be the healthier alternative to potato chips for years, when in fact, then have more calories per gram. Pretzels are also dry and flavorless; this matches the description of a person perfectly. Furthermore, pretzels are usually salted; a salty person is usually unpleasant.
The captain of the football team is such a pretzel. He think he's king, but the only reason the talentless wretch got on the team is because the coach is his dad. And I suppose that's why he's captain, too.
