Baltimore Ravens offensive lineman John Urschel is already two years into his NFL career but is still a student-athlete.

Urschel, according to his Nittany Lions profile, graduated from Penn State in three years with a 4.0 grade-point average in mathematics. He followed that up with his master's the next year with another 4.0 GPA. Not only was the offensive lineman playing football and routinely being named to conference/national All-Academic teams, but he also taught a section of a math course to undergraduate students.
