Genius NFL Star Explains Why He Drives a $9000 Used Nissan Versa - NextShark

While some might be under the impression that all professional athletes drive exotic sports cars or enormous diesel trucks, Baltimore Ravens guard John Urschel finds that his used Nissan Versa is more than sufficient. rather than spending his money superfluously, Urschel spends his money economically. According to a profile of Urschel in the Baltimore Sun , when he was drafted in 2014, he bought himself his $9,000 used Nissan Versa as a gift to himself. Urschel even tweeted a photo of his car next to his teammates’ enormous trucks saying:. Urschel told the Sun of his car:. And you know what the best feeling is. You’re driving into a parking deck, it’s near full and you’re on the first level and there is that space that everyone has passed because they said, ‘No, we can’t park in there. ’ And I take my Versa and I just go right in there. I’m on the first level, parking lot full and everyone else is parking on the upper deck where the car is getting hot. Before hitting the NFL, Urschel, now 24, attended Penn State, where he earned his bachelor’s degree in mathematics in three years. In March, one of Urschel’s papers, “A Cascadic Multigrid Algorithm for Computing the Fiedler Vector of Graph Laplacians,” was published in the peer-reviewed Journal of Computational Mathematics.
