One of my favorite football related stories is John Urschel, who played OT for the Baltimore Ravens, and was active in math education. He’s now teaching at MIT, and just pre-printed a proof on Gaussian elimination and growth rate error.

Great story. While at Penn State, Urschel missed a practice. The coach looked in his chart showing which players had classes at what time. Color coded for underclass or post graduate classes. The coach saw a different color code, one that he had never seen before — so he asked his staff what class Urschel was taking. He was told “John’s not taking that class. He is teaching a post grad class in astrophysics.”
While still playing college ball, he had a paper published on two bodies in space orbiting a central point.
