In Cleveland one of the best quarterbacks the Browns had was Frank Ryan who had a Ph.D in mathematics. In fact, Frank became a professor at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland -- while he was still the Browns' quarterback! He taught mathematics at Case in the morning and went to practice with the Browns in the afternoon. Frank was the last quarterback Cleveland had who took the team to a championship in 1964.
Wasn't Virgil Carter some sort of math whiz also?
**EDIT** found the answer to my own question
In his first stint with the Bears, Carter earned a master's degree from Northwestern University in Evanston, and while in Cincinnati with the Bengals taught statistics and mathematics at Xavier University.
