- John Urschel has spent his life pursuing passions in two vastly different worlds: mathematics and football. The former Baltimore Ravens lineman, who simultaneously pursued a PhD in math while playing in the NFL, talks to Dana Jacobson about why math won out in the end.

He’s really down to earth.
Bravo for this man! This video should be shown in urban maths classrooms everywhere in the US.
Should those classrooms show his black mom... but hide his dad... a Lilly white Canadian surgeon? Why would generally pure black inner city youths be inspired by someone with completely different genes than they have? Or do you think lying helps kids?
@@mattnewman12345 bro what is your problem
@@mattnewman12345 I showed one of Hershel’s videos in my math class and the kids were inspired. They were of different races and did not care about his race. They were impressed by the fact that he played a sport and was good at math!
He's lucky to get out with his body and brain intact. Fortunate.
Imagine being a math student at MIT not knowing about this guy and you read your instructor's name "John Urschel". Then a humongous buff dude enters your class and says "I'm John Urschel"
Money isn't everything and if he likes math more than playing football this is a wise decision
Woah football and math😯😯😯 incredible
We NEVER seen this. My first time seeing him was 2023.😢
its just a theory, A Game Theory! thanks for watching.
Do you think he got paid not to say anything by the nfl. That would have looked bad for the sport if he did. He said the concussion stop him from doing math. What does that say to students in college playing today? If they get hit, they could fail an exam or a semester.
Joe James Experiment absolutely not.
kim goalie wow! great reply. That was so thoughtful. How did you find the words for such an eloquent response?
Joe James Experiment Other former Players like Chris Borland went public against the NFL. Urschel is very smart, he also knew that Football can cause head injuries, but he also knows that the media overhypes CTE studies. He could have said something against the nfl, if he wanted to, but why should he?
kim goalie he should speak out against the nfl because he said his concussion impaired his ability to do math for two months. How is that ever okay? Kids play this sport too and may be experiencing the same symptoms has him.
Joe James Experiment thank God he could recover and has his normal capability again. He knew the dangers of playing the sport, so why should he speak out. Nobody forced him to play. And I agree children shouldn‘t play football anyways.
Very impressive. Well done. Seeing this in 2023, it's motivation for people pursuing both academics and sports in equal earnesty...
Dana is still fine as can be
Kenneth Evans I know right
Simp
@@ousamaabdu794 so it’s simp behavior to say that a woman is attractive? If you don’t like women that’s on you but me myself I’m not into guys
@@kennethevans4056 Gorilla 🦍 Simpin
Gorilla 🦍 Simpin
I would leave the Ravens too
Or football in general.
Nikki Jackson they got the best most exotic complicated D fence that gets turnovers but there offence is trash
Terry Hanks not true
@@terryhanks5353 lol ha ha ha, There's always next year 😄🍿🍿🍿🍿
Nikki Jackson I'm a charger fan I was just giving my opinion on the Ravens defense you silly gift card you don't know me
It still won't change my mind of how I hate math:(
Black people do need to invest and learn other things besides sports, entertainment, government jobs, and entry level jobs. To preserve the Black race, we need to embrace nerdiness.
"Did you see any black faces?" Are you serious!?!?
Don't you love his answer though? Cool dude.
What was wrong with that question?
@@Cabledeluz1977 nothing, that guy just oversensitive
Every thing was with that wrong with that question.
The creators of this video purposefully hid the exceptional success of this persons father... jeopardy music playing
I would stay in the NFL
yeah. But you don't have the brain or ambition to do anything else unlike this guy.
why do you have to bring race into this?
Bc it's a real issue, sometimes schools have to lower standards to allow more diversity
@@amaxlite It is a real issue, but not for the reason you said, which is just a right-wing (or should I say, “white-wing”) talking point. Teachers have tended not to encourage Black and Latino (as well as female) students as far as fostering interest in STEM fields. As far as “lowering standards” (which doesn’t apply to John Urschel, to be clear), I’ll take the kid who didn’t have all the privileges, opportunities, and encouragement, and scored a bit lower on their SATs or whatever over the kid with the higher score who grew up privileged, got to take prep courses and private tutoring, never had their abilities or work ethic questioned simply because of their race, etc.
nice
