This summer, as the Ravens prepared for their first full-team practice of training camp, offensive lineman John Urschel decided to hang up his cleats.

Sometimes you have to walk away to appreciate things even more. Good luck, Mr. Urschel. You have earned the right.

[katbrax]

I respect his decision to teach our youth and be true to himself.Bless you Professor John Urschel and your family.

How can you not respect this man; and I'm a Steeler fan!

This guy will be remembering theories and formulas long after other NFL players will be trying to remember their kids names after years of hits.

He is doing the right play sports for recreation, but doing something for his family, society and himself is the smart thing to do and this guy is one smart fellow.

[videoomaster]

Its like this guy went from using a calculator to hammer in nails, to using a calculator to calculate numbers for math. Talking about his head lol

[broadcast]

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.

Who would give this a thumbs down? SMH
