@Teringventje Grades don't mean much to MIT. Everyone applying has good grades and scores, etc... If you can't hang at MIT you wouldn't make it in. Inflation has nothing to do with it.
Richie P. It's a shame that a lot of people think most football players are dumb when there not sure some kinda are but in modern day a lot of them are smarter than there given credit for like John here, Sherman is pretty smart to just so well spoken, Flacco is pretty smart himself as well
Retire and help America out,I LOVEEE Football but you are too damn smart to be out there with a mind like that. We need more brothers like you to show the inner city youth that we can be more than athletes and entertainers.
Jonathan Rose You are right,I noticed many players especially O-Line men are extremely smart,that guy from the San Diego chargers is very smart too,he's an O-linemen
***** Yes you are right,I meant he shouldn't play it too long because all of these concussions and brain diseases will kill his gift. He should play it until he is set for life then pursue educating black community and dedicate his time to making technological advances in other fields. He has a mind that can advance our society.
***** It's obviously his choice and it's okay if he wants yo play until he is 40 but in my personal opinion I can see him bringing much more value in a research lab vs his muscle fighting others for the Ravens on turf. We need more inventors innovators and great minds that work hard. That is what makes America special. We can't let other nations outsmart us. That was my entire point. But either way he's an awesome guy
You know, white people never think like "hey look at that steve jobs guy, what a great white dude showing us how to do it." If you need some guy not to play football and be a math person so you can rationalize personal success you're an idiot.
I’ve had the chance to meet John Urschel on two occasions. Not only is he one of the smartest people I’ve ever met, he is also one of the kindest people you’ll ever come across.
DaveAllenSpeaks actually, I read somewhere that offensive tackles have the highest average IQ amongst any position group, followed by quarterbacks, centers, and guards
GortDiminished no they explain to me the same way i see what he’s saying he’s not saying they sound the same like tonality how u even took race out of this says a lot about you
brad walker the difference is that Matt quit his job and started another. So he no longer works in the field of aeronautical engineering. While this guy is currently doing math and publishing papers and pursuing PhD... Etc.
Crazy how no one is talking about how he has a theorem named after him. He basically put his own numbers he came up with himself in existing theories to find new answers but always leading to further questions obviously. The dedication to even get a small portion solved requires so much time and dedication just working error after error. Don't forget the definition to insanity is repetition and expecting different outcomes, you start believing yourself to be insane until you finally for once proceed to move *forward*
Greatest respect for the man, but why is he destroying his great mind by playing football. he only has so many years of football left, but a great mind will last until he gets way up there in age
maddengod 99 there's only a short window of time you can play football, age wise. You'll be able to use your intelligence forever (until you get some bad concussion).
I think he calculate the parabola of the area of the x intercept squared multiplied by the coefficient of the restitution of the jersey which made it equidistant from all sides of the jersey to find the perceived equilibrium to fit the right number on the uniform
Smart, athletic, attractive, guy hit the genetic lottery. His parents were a surgeon and an attorney, so even if iq is only partially heritable, he still had a really good place to start from.
A lot of players who get concussions aren't actually linemen they're more qbs and skill players.... what will hurt him in the future though is almost his whole lower body and especially knees.
+layziehorse72 I play offensive line and the only time you get concussions is in specific plays or you are going against someone very aggressive. I got a concussion this season only because I (a 6'1 225 freshman) got laid out and punched in the face by a 6'3 370 lbs (yes he's huge and fat af) when in the dog pile. But truthfully speaking lineman don't tend to get concussions because you can't build up enough force in the 2 steps before contact. Not saying it doesn't happen because it does. And in all honesty, practically all lineman have a minor concussion all season but it's not major enough to notice (because of the constant contact every play).
I get what you're saying, I also played college ball on the o line. The collisions against the d line isnt as bad as pulling against the linebackers and taking those fuckers head on when they're coming downhill full speed. Never got officially diagnosed with a concussion but there were a few hits where I seen them on film and don't even remember them happening. You also have to take into account that a lot of players, myself included, hid concussion symptoms. It was just a part of the game.
See this is what makes me happy. Someone who is multitasking for good. He’s not that athlete or rich person that assaults someone or does a crime. They put their mind on something else. If he retired from football he can go on to his new job in his 40’s and live it out from there. He may be rich but he’s not lazy.
When you ask your teacher why do we even need to know algebra or geometry and they respond with no reason at all “it applies to nothing”... I’ve heard to many teachers say that in my years.
If anyone got this in recommend, he retired after three season to get his PhD at MIT
Marco G paid off his school at least
Noah Ballard you do know that phd's get paid to get a phd right? lol
Mrchavezcorredor you’re right, but i’m sure ~all at MIT do
The NFL said in his scouting report, he doesn’t “need” football.
He just dont want dat damage affecting his smart brain
4.0 in undergrad, and plus he's also good at football, crazy.
Teringventje but a 4.0 means perfect, all A’s. Not to mention he’s at MIT which is one of the best colleges in the world for math and science.
@Teringventje I don't think there's a better school for math in the world than MIT, though
@Teringventje just that American schools can still be as good as any in the world and that this dude is in the top .001% of academic success worldwide
You are insane to discount the fact that he had a 4.0 GPA while playing at one of the best schools in the nation and then getting into MIT.
@Teringventje Grades don't mean much to MIT. Everyone applying has good grades and scores, etc... If you can't hang at MIT you wouldn't make it in. Inflation has nothing to do with it.
How could one be so lucky to have a great mind like that but also have extreme size and good athletic ability
6'3 isn't that big lol. But he does have an excellent frame. he carries 300 really well
Landen Johnson 6,3 is big. get off your high horse. May not be in the NFL oline but it's still big...
+Feao DovahKiin I guess you're small
Landen Johnson thank you have a lovely day
Only thing lucky is his size. He worked for everything else
This is the man. He's a genius and I'm glad he's part of the Ravens organization. He has done a great job filling in after Osemele's departure.

Richie P. It's a shame that a lot of people think most football players are dumb when there not sure some kinda are but in modern day a lot of them are smarter than there given credit for like John here, Sherman is pretty smart to just so well spoken, Flacco is pretty smart himself as well
OblivionKisame Sherman isn't necessarily smart.. his IQ is barely above average.. he's just very knowledgeable and well spoken.
Richie P. H
@@keonihunter1635 you haven't seen his I.q test
The way his face lit up talking about his theorem made my day man.
99 AWARENESS
He retired at age 26.
"Smart move."
I mean less injuries more longer life
he jus wanted the mills
Yeah, I believe around this time CTE had not been widely known, so he left when major research found out the effect of CTE on players.
Retire and help America out,I LOVEEE Football but you are too damn smart to be out there with a mind like that. We need more brothers like you to show the inner city youth that we can be more than athletes and entertainers.

alot of time when he retires

Not surprising an O-lineman is smart.They are usually the smartest dudes on the field.
David Holcomb plus the quarterback
qbs are smarter then olines but In flaccos case,this could be argued
Mapogo606 They remind me of elephants and whales.... ir9nically the largest clumsiest animals are also the smartest
DaveAllenSpeaks actually, I read somewhere that offensive tackles have the highest average IQ amongst any position group, followed by quarterbacks, centers, and guards
Especially the center
Having your own theorem is an extremely big deal. Much respect to this guy.
he speaks in a very similar way to neil degrease tyson
Philippe Paul no he’s just black like Neil. They speak very differently imo
He sounds like him lol
Pretty sure he meant how they both speak passionately in a way that draws people in. They are basically speaking like amazing teachers.
GortDiminished Neil is half latino
GortDiminished no they explain to me the same way i see what he’s saying he’s not saying they sound the same like tonality how u even took race out of this says a lot about you
I this guy would draw up some crazy plays
His team wouldn't understand
likeriver They wouldn't be good he not a coach
Andrey Smith xyz seam left out side flat broken pa side pass to x on the v format 329 seam left pa pump fake to RB on clock
*Theory*
As a Ravens fan I was sad to see him retire but as a fan of him as a person he made the right choice in preserving his brain and preventing damage
Meanwhile, Morris Claiborne got a 4 on the Wonderlic.
lol
Joe Lackey Good thing he's having a good season then lol
Joe Lackey I laughed so hard at this lol
I'm dying! Nice
I am hoping that his excuse of him not caring on it was right. Because if not... oof.
Just finished his book “Mind and Matter”. Great read.
I got so much respect for this man I wish him the best in life
Gronk does these problems in his spare time too. 😂😂😂
I think it's awesome how he incorporates math into his blocking strategy. He's a genius
the math equation over picking up a block really had me rolling laughing.
What about Matt Patricia? DC for New England is a rocket scientist.
His problems are more complex, plus he had FOUR papers published before undergrad graduation
brad walker the difference is that Matt quit his job and started another. So he no longer works in the field of aeronautical engineering. While this guy is currently doing math and publishing papers and pursuing PhD... Etc.

My Hero, An excellent role model for our young Black Men!!!!!!
This was truly a great video

Who knew he taught Patrick Mahomes?! 🤣 0:25
Bruh shut up lol 😂
Greatest respect for the man, but why is he destroying his great mind by playing football. he only has so many years of football left, but a great mind will last until he gets way up there in age
maddengod 99 there's only a short window of time you can play football, age wise. You'll be able to use your intelligence forever (until you get some bad concussion).
NFL Offensive Lineman Average Salary $1,267,402
Mathematician's Average Salary $101,320
Any Questions?
maddengod 99 He'd be an "idiot" not to make that much money a year
an average mathematician wont have a phd from MIT. If he was a full time mathematician he would be making much more than 100k
is it as much as millions in a year?
He went to my High School in Buffalo, New York. Proud to say that he is a Canisius High School Alumni!!
Class person.
Has his priorities in the game of life set. Best of luck.
Salute to him great in school and on the field. Discipline Intelligence nd Sacrifice all in one
this just goes to show that u can be powerful in BOTH BRAINS and BRAWN
Wow this man is amazing and so smart he has so much talent
talk about " Not judging the Book"!!!!!!!! So Proud of My Brotha!!!!!
I'm an artist and a chemist... I'm not a football fan or a math fan... But I think this man might be the sexiest man I've ever seen
Him and Laurent Duvernay-Tardif are inspiring
That’s just beautiful offensive line play @ 4:10
I guess I'll sign up for Calc 3 in spring ...
Ok 👍🏻
I have huge respect for true mathematicians with Masters or Doctorate degrees.
This guys book was my prompt for my APLAC AP exam
Really well done, thanks for posting
Him and Ryan Fitzpatrick are actually crazy smart
I wish I could understand math like this man...
Awesome story
This is just awesome. What an impressive guy!
such a likable guy
I'm taking calculus in college and this video kinda inspired me to go higher lol
pretty cool story, good guy.
3:38 LMFAO 😂😂😂😂😂😂
now thas a well rounded human being. amaazing
Can we have just a string of comments sayin “BIG BRAIN”😂😂
no
She looks likes she is constantly smiling because of the way her face is.
LOL, I did not notice that. hahahaha
wait is he the same guy that beat a whole group of kids at chess in their commercial?
Buddy Green Yes, this is him. He's a very talented man, definitely!
Genius observation at 4:21. I agree.
Very inspirational.
Yo, he was at my high school there! Stuff looked super familiar, then I recognized some of the kids, absolutely crazy!
incredible guy
He was working on series. Pretty good stuff.
He should do my math homework
I think he calculate the parabola of the area of the x intercept squared multiplied by the coefficient of the restitution of the jersey which made it equidistant from all sides of the jersey to find the perceived equilibrium to fit the right number on the uniform
Smart, athletic, attractive, guy hit the genetic lottery. His parents were a surgeon and an attorney, so even if iq is only partially heritable, he still had a really good place to start from.
Pause at 00:04. Katie Nolan's smile crease looks like Heath Ledger's joker scar.
Use that smartness on field can be great!
Honestly the Universe is so finely tuned, it makes me wonder how people think it is possible to be an accident.
Remind me the next time we celebrate a math professor for his excellent football skills
It would have to be NFL level to really count as the same thing.
My math say 8y+2y(2+2)= John do a lot of damn holding! Haha
5:09
damn he’s teaching mahomes up there in the front
I thought that Patrick Mahomes was that kid in the class🤣😂
Did Katie Nolan grow up in Whoville?
bruhhhhhh i just thought this
hahahhahhahha
I was waiting for someone to say something about her smile
Brody Galloway feel like she would look better with a mustache
😂😂😂😂
1:28 Illegal hands to the face. Defense number 75. 5 yard penalty. Automatic first down.👈
great job NFL films... looks like they hired some smart and talented people as well
I've never been good at math. But, what a beautiful video....
Watching as an undergrad, this makes me feel so bad because I don't even have the football
There's a reason this video has zero dislikes. Just saying...
Ian Meyer not anymore
Ian Meyer it has 62
Awesome job......love it ...Go MIT..astronomy and physics is my degree...keep up the great work
While working on the Mahomes puzzle: “dear God...we have to divide by zero to beat him”
Interesting note that O linemen (and qb’s) tend to have the highest football intelligence based on the Wonderlic score (look it up)
This guy is awesome
3:29 they can’t even get the units for acceleration correctly...
poodook 😂😂😂didn’t even notice that
A lot of players who get concussions aren't actually linemen they're more qbs and skill players.... what will hurt him in the future though is almost his whole lower body and especially knees.
It would actually be lineman and linebackers, they knock helmets every play and it adds up.
+layziehorse72 I play offensive line and the only time you get concussions is in specific plays or you are going against someone very aggressive. I got a concussion this season only because I (a 6'1 225 freshman) got laid out and punched in the face by a 6'3 370 lbs (yes he's huge and fat af) when in the dog pile.

Concussions are not the main cause of CTE. Repeated sub-concussive hits are. Lineman suffer the most of these sub-concussive hits.
Lineman are actually the most susceptible to head injuries, they experience head to head collisions on nearly every single down
Glad this pop up in my suggestion box
He has his own theorem. Hes now up there with Pythagoras
Thought I saw Patty mahomes when the class room piece came on
my teacher making me answering questions about him😀😀🙂
This is really, in fact, seriously cool. Just is.
0:13 This woman is clearly an MIT student herself
LTD? The best guard in the league literally helped design the new helmets to help reduce concussions
That Canadian OL from the Chiefs has entered the chat
Guy is a genius like yours truly...
See this is what makes me happy. Someone who is multitasking for good. He’s not that athlete or rich person that assaults someone or does a crime. They put their mind on something else.

I have the same passion for Onion flavored Pringles and Nacho cheese Doritos
She almost said big brain, she knew though. Props to her👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Well, you blew your cover if you ever want to be in the CIA! haha
Mad respect
Everyone who disliked this video had a 1.8 gpa

99 awareness on madden
NFL films should do a story on belichick & McDaniels.
So Nietche's Ubermensch is real
Your Goddamn right
A friend of mine goes to MIT. I swear the way he talks is so similar to how John talks. Too geeky
this man needs a 99 overall awareness
I seen this years ago but I'm back for a history report ✋😒
