Inspired by daughter, Charles Mann goes back to school

It’s always nice to hear that NFL players who left college early return to get their degrees, as a source of family pride.

Panthers quarterback Cam Newton did this offseason, and said he did it for his mother.

For former Washington defensive end Charles Mann, it was seeing his daughter graduate that sparked his return to school.

According to Dan Steinberg of the Washington Post, Mann has finally finished his college degree, 32 years after he left the University of Nevada to go onto a long and productive NFL career.
