    NFL players trade helmets for caps and gowns in offseason

    ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) — When Bruce Irvin got a multimillion dollar signing bonus after being a first-round draft pick in 2012, the idea of getting his college degree was the last thing on his mind.

    A former high school dropout who spent time in jail and dealing drugs while growing up in Atlanta, Irvin later decided to set an example for his 5-year-old son Brayden and show that he is more than just a professional athlete.

    That's fantastic and I always got annoyed when teams held players getting certain degrees against them for being "too smart". It's also good that the NFL will reimburse up to $60k for these guys though at some schools that will only cover a couple semesters...
