During the offseason, many players from around the NFL return to college to finish getting their degrees.
For Ravens center/guard John Urschel, that doesn’t mean wrapping up a four-year undergrad program.
“For me, finishing my degree is my PH.D,” said Urschel, who is now a few weeks into his program.
Even before he entered college at Penn State, Urschel envisioned himself getting his Ph.D at an Ivy League institution. Now he simply feels like he’s following through on that plan.
“It’s important to me as a football player, but also as a role model, to finish my education,” Urschel said.
