Myron Rolle is ready to take his game from the football field to the operating table. Those precious hands — renowned for making interceptions — will be wielding scalpels and forceps on the human brain.
Rolle, the former Florida State All-American safety and Rhodes Scholar, was accepted into the Harvard Medical School neurosurgery program at Massachusetts General Hospital and will begin his residency in Boston in June, a month after he graduates from the FSU College of Medicine.
Rolle compared last week’s Match Day to NFL Draft night, except that waiting to find out where he’ll spend the next seven years of his career was more nerve-wracking.
