Last month, Pittsburgh Steelers left tackle Alejandro Villanueva gave the commencement address at Saint Vincent College, doing his part to try to inspire a wave of graduates as they move on to the next phase of their lives. Villanueva recently found himself a graduate as well.
While many professional athletes at some point in their careers return to their alma mater to finish degrees that they started and abandoned after declaring for the draft, Villanueva is part of a rarer breed that took on a new task. He attended Carnegie Mellon for the past few years, and just came out with an MBA to show for it.
