Compare: John Cameron Urschel (born June 24, 1991) is a Canadian-American mathematician and retired professional American football guard and center. He played college football at Penn State and was drafted by the Baltimore Ravens in the fifth round of the 2014 NFL Draft. Urschel played his entire NFL career with Baltimore before announcing his retirement on July 27, 2017, at 26 years old.
Urschel has bachelor’s (4.0 GPA) and master’s degrees in mathematics from Penn State and is pursuing a Ph.D. in mathematics from MIT. Urschel is focused on spectral graph theory, numerical linear algebra and machine learning. He has published peer-reviewed articles in mathematics. He is an advanced stats columnist for The Players’ Tribune.
“After the end of my rookie season in the NFL in 2014, my decision to put off grad school began to eat away at me,” Urschel wrote on the Players’ Tribune website. “I had always prided myself on not sacrificing football for math, or math for football. And yet, during my first offseason, when I was honest with myself, I knew I wasn’t pushing myself to become the best mathematician I could be. I had more to learn. I wanted to grow.”
Someone has to hold up the top end of that bell curve.
