"Urschel is pursuing his doctorate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the offseason, focusing on spectral graph theory, numerical linear algebra and machine learning."
This guy has a back-up plan. Good man.
- amelius 9y agoSounds like a very broad plan to me.
- bkjelden 9y agoIt's a better plan than almost every other NFL player has. Most players have lived very football-focused lives from a very young age, and have been the star on the team all of their life. Their future has always been more football, and they haven't given any thought to what comes after that.
- racl101 9y agoHoly schniekes. What a Renaissance man this guy is. Good for him, he's still only 26.
- H1Supreme 9y agoI didn't start programming until roughly that age. Good on him!

- notjustanymike 9y agoThis guy and the Nasa Astronaut Navy Seal Medic need to star in a buddy cop comedy!
- ll931110 9y agoMet him twice during my time at MIT. A very nice, down to earth guy. We did get curious about his days as a football player for a while :)
- sizzzzlerz 9y agoContinue playing until his 30's, make a lot of money, and suffer pain and disability for the remainder of his life in addition to constantly diminishing mental acuity - or - retire now to pursue a PhD and be healthy, earn a living that could possibly meet his football earnings but more likely, keep him comfortable, and be able to use his mind for the rest of his life. Plus, he has a much reduced chance of losing a $150,000 earring jet skiing. I think he made the correct choice.
