Nassib Looking To Fulfill NFL Dream

INDIANAPOLIS -- Carl Nassib is Evan Mathis without the scruffy beard, long hair, pet chihuahua and fondness for Englebert Humperdinck music.

The defensive end out of Penn State and Malvern Prep, who led the nation in quarterback sacks last season with 17 ½, has the same kind of dry sense of humor as the ex-Eagle offensive lineman.

Nassib, who was a biology major at Penn State, had previously expressed an interest in going to medical school and becoming a doctor after his football career is over.

Asked Saturday at the NFL scouting combine what kind of doctor he wants to be, he said a pediatrician.
