Myron Rolle Everyone

This is former FSU defensive back turned Rhodes Scholar and now he's choosing between the NFL and being a doctor. But who cares about that, what I do care about is him looking like an absolute douche bag.

Stop being an asshole Myron and put on a doo rag and a big chain. That will definitely get you drafted a couple of spots higher.

Myron Rolle To Oxford?

Remember when I wrote a post about Florida Stat DB Myron Rolle winning a Rhodes Scholarship. Well instead of going to the NFL (which he is projected to be a top round pick) he is deciding to seek a one-year master's degree in medical anthropology at Oxford. I think this is one of the most over looked stories in college football this year. The news has hardly reported anything on this true student athlete, but continuously sucks Tebows dick or putting all their effort into what Pacman Jones will do next. Myron Rolle really puts things into perspective if you ask me. He is striving towards a real career rather than the fame and glory of playing a game and having shot knees for the rest of his life. Good for you Myron.

A College Athlete Who Actually Excels At College

"Rolle will play in the potentially critical Atlantic Division matchup in College Park, Md., and also attend the announcement of this year's Rhodes Scholar recipients in Birmingham, Ala.
Rolle, a starting safety, is a finalist for the prestigious scholarship and will go through interviews that Saturday."

It is very rare that you hear about a college athlete being this smart (other than offensive lineman) and it is very rare that you would hear a college athlete out of FSU being a candidate for a Rhodes Scholar.

Myron Rolle is a breath of fresh air when it comes to student/ athletes, instead of the normal thugs that you hear taking college academics for granted while playing a sport (Ryan Perilloux, Marcus Vick, Michael Beasley), Myron is actually getting something out of it. With Coach Bobby Bowden needing all the good press he can, this will actually take pressure off of his underachieving football team.
