One of the more interesting stories from this past weekend's college football slate was that of Florida State junior Myron Rolle's grueling day. Rolle, who graduated from FSU with a degree in pre-med in 2.5 years with a GPA of 3.75, was also the nation's number one recruit coming into college. On Saturday, he flew 700 miles in order to have his final interview for a Rhodes Scholarship, a scholarship that he received. He also managed to make it back to FSU's game against Maryland that evening.

He is truly unique college athlete. Need more like him, and I'm sure the NFL will know exactly how to market him. As opposed to MLB who know nothing about marketing.
