The roomofzen would like to extend a congratulations to Florida State safety Myron Rolle, who this weekend became the first ever Florida State football player to win a Rhodes Scholarship. It's always nice to read about guys like Rolle (who is an aspiring neurosurgeon) who stand as such strong counter-examples against all of the negative stereotypes we hear about division 1 student athletes.
Sounds like he's got a big decision to make. Personally, I'd still choose the NFL. He can always pursue his interests after he's made his millions. People will say that he'll lose his drive, but this guy earned a Rhodes Scholarship despite being presented with all of the distractions and shortcuts that I'm sure are available to FSU players. I doubt that motivation will go away just because of money.

How many guys have had the last name "Rolle" at Florida colleges? This is getting absurd. Are they all related? Is this just a really common name in Florida? This needs to be a segment on ESPN 360...
