This guy certainly understands the numbers. I'm guessing we'll start to see a lot more of this. Time to short sell your NFL team? Yep!

Google's first result searching for
John Urschel is his
MIT home page.
"Right now, I spend most of my time thinking about graph theory, machine learning, and numerical analysis."
Hopefully, he will also find some time to think about investing his football money and about applying math to same.

This guy will go on to have a great life.
It is so encouraging to hear that a young man is so intelligent and grounded. There are so many degenerates and felons in the league, and hearing his story is uplifting.
He even has a great sense of humor. He made fun of the little car he drives.

Doctor/Mechanic, please help me!

My car. It has dents all over it.
Doctor: must be your family history. Take these drugs.

Hardly, this guy is the exception not the rule. Your typical pro football player is not a phd candidate... There will always be those willing to take the risk for the big payday because they know it’s the only shot they have at that kind of money.
Football dies when moms and dads refuse to let their young kids start playing it... Not when a few stop playing it in their 20s.

It's harder to get chicks as a mathematician than as a football player. He will find out that he has lost most all clout with the babes.
Being an NFL player, even a lineman, is a real leg opener.
