Dude was pursuing his PhD at M.I.T and published six math papers while playing in the NFL.
Urschel began a Ph.D. in mathematics at Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2016,[23] focusing on spectral graph theory, numerical linear algebra, and machine learning.[24] MIT does not allow Ph.D. students to study part-time; while the Ravens knew that he was taking classes, Urschel admitted after retiring from the team that he did not disclose that he was a full-time graduate student, having taken correspondence classes in between games and practices.
That's probably one of the craziest feats you'll hear of from an athlete. Think how difficult and rare doing one of those things is.
