Never too late: 74-year-old football Hall of Famer earns college degree (Shutdown Corner)

Former Kansas City Chiefs linebacker/defensive end Bobby Bell had a professional resume that anyone who likes football would envy.

He was a two-time All-American and national champion in college. He was a six-time All-Pro and Super Bowl champion in the NFL. Bell was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He did it all on the field. He was successful off of it as well, opening a chain of restaurants in retirement.

Yet the 74-year-old was bothered by something he didn't do. He left home for the University of Minnesota in 1959 and he never got his degree.
