Head of the class: Ravens' John Urschel gets straight A's in four PhD courses at MIT

Baltimore Ravens offensive lineman John Urschel isn't just taking classes at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He's acing them.

My first semester in school in nearly three years. Four PhD classes at MIT. Four A's. The streak continues!!!

That "streak" includes picking up his bachelor's and master's degrees in math at Penn State with 4.0 grade-point averages.

Urschel has prided himself in remaining at the head of the class. While many NFL players have finished college by picking up their undergraduate diplomas, Urschel is working on his doctorate at one of the premier mathematics universities in the country.
