John Urschel isn't like most NFL players.
He's one of only 12 Canadians to be drafted to play in the NFL since 2009.
He has a master's degree in mathematics from Penn State and has co-authored a study that was featured in the Journal of Computational Mathematics.
And he apparently drives a Nissan Versa.

To be clear, plenty of people drive Nissan Versas. The Versa is the 38th best selling car in the United States, wedged right between the Volkswagon Jetta and the Ford Edge in terms of vehicles sold in June 2015.
But there's a reason it's considered a subcompact car. It's small.
You know who's not small? John Urschel, who's roughly 6-feet-3 and 305 pounds and plays guard for the Ravens.
People his size drive big pickup trucks like the blacked-out Ford, lifted Ram or Canyonero/Campanaro. Then again, people his size don't consider themselves "Professional Mathletes."
Given that background, I'm sure the 30 or so MPGs he's getting around the streets of Owings Mills, Md., bring a smile to his face.
