Myron Rolle ranks his NFL career behind his education

http://fryingpansports.com/2009/01/14/myron-rolle-ranks-his-nfl-career-behind-his-education/

NFL scouts might question CB Myron Rolle's 40 time, or if his hips are

fluid enough but they can never question his intelligence. Rolle is a

Rhodes Scholar. Today, he announced he would postpone his NFL career

and spend 2009 in Oxford England getting a masters degree in medical

technology.
