He earned the right, why not? We don't jump over military men/women when they wear apparel indicating they have served. 

Been a lot of people from Army/Navy/Air Force in the NFL. None of them wore their rank on their uniforms.

 

Feel like this would open a Pandora's Box that would end with stuff like "Gronk, Esquire" on the back of jerseys.

He had a concussion that left him unable to work on the math problems he loved for a couple of months, even though he returned to football in 3 weeks.  He says it didn't scare him, but it upset his mother and GF (now wife) a lot.  He says he loved hitting people, he just loved math more and football was getting in the way.

 

He made something like $1.7M in 3 years.  If he lived modestly and invested it prudently (which by all accounts, he did and does) he can be pulling a nice income of $60k-$70 to supplement his grad school stipend and his eventual salary which will probably be in the low-6 figures ($120k-ish).  Most folks tend to live pretty comfortably on an income of $180k if they don't get hung up on material acquisitions.  That's what, top 3 or 4% for all men, top 10% for men with an advanced degree (all advanced degrees, including MD/JD)?

 

All that and the chance to do what he loves, can't argue with the choice.

 

 

HE married his mother?

 

Anyway...what does a "math" man do to get paid 120K?

Here's an article he wrote about his two careers:

He definitely has a bit of ego.  Impressive, nonetheless.  

 

A Canadian once told me McGill is the Harvard of Canada.  Maybe a little hyperbole there but it is an excellent school.  

 

Washouts to McGill go to NC colleges I heard.
