It's no secret that Ravens' center John Urschel prides himself on his athletic pedigree. While Urschel's bread and butter is football, some would say he's a math geek first, and a football player second. Aside from being a NFL center, Urschel also holds both bachelor's and master's degrees in mathematics from Penn State, and has also had his works published in peer-reviewed mathematical journals. But even then, Urschel is striving for an even more distinguished title.
In a Tweet sent Tuesday morning, Urschel announced that he would be starting his PhD in mathematics with MIT this offseason.
