Undrafted rookie linebacker Andrew Sweat played at Ohio State and he's continuing his education. It just won't be on the football field. While not selected in the 2012 NFL Draft, Sweat did sign with the Cleveland Browns in free agency. However, don't expect him to be making tackles unless he has a serious change of heart. Sweat has opted to go to law school to eventually become a lawyer.
Sweat gives up one dream to follow another. Deadspin had an article recently stating that despite the health risks of football, Sweat was making a big mistake not pursuing a career as a professional athletes. Considering the minimum NFL salary is a little less than $400,000, they may be right, but there's no guarantees, especially with being undrafted.
Since Deadspin's article was published, Sweat made a statement via his official Twitter, telling everyone his reasons for not going into professional football and why he'll be just fine in law school. Sweat said that he wants to avoid concussion risks and that “health trumps football any day.” And even most recently, Sweat revealed he has a good setup (his dad has a successful law firm he could transition to.) Hey, at least he's honest, right? What do you think of rookie Andrew Sweat's decision?

+91 year of warming the bench at the league minimum would still be enough to pay off all of your law school debt several times over. Take the money, play for 1-2 seasons (warm the bench if you have to), pay off school, and set up your own practice debt free. No-brainer buddy. Aren't lawyers having a hard time getting work after school as it is right now? Get that debt cleared.
