He won the "Academic Heisman" in 2013, an honor given to college football's top scholar-athlete.

Earlier this year, the 24-year-old, 305-pound lineman was accepted into the No. 1 ranked graduate school for mathematics, all while having a full-time job in the NFL.

2. How nice.

Not all professional ball players are just dumb jocks.

Frank Rice, quarterback with the LA Rams, the Cleveland Browns, and the Washington Redskins earned a PhD in math himself early in his career.

There may have been other PhD ball players, but Rice is the only other one I'm aware of.
