Urschel played for the Ravens for three seasons. However, he retired to save his brain, since he’s a brilliant mathematician. He is also an incredible chess player.

I know what you meant, but you said that and I automatically flashed to John Urschel. (Though he seems to have been quiet on Kap/Taking a Knee since leaving the NFL and focusing on his PhD.)
