>> My name is John Urschel, and I'm a mathematician
and a professional football player.
Math is my long-term plan.
I aspire to be a professor, to do research that pushes the world forward, and at the same time,
to also inspire young people, both in math and not in math that I may encounter in my life.
I think that sports ends for everyone eventually, and for me personally, you know,
the NFL is a very short-lived career.
The average career is roughly three years, and it's a right-skewed distribution,
so naturally the median is even less, so.
