What are your thoughts on this? Would you do it if you were in his situation?

I congratulate him on this and hold no ill feelings towards him for something like this. This is obviously a bigger dream for him than the NFL and we are all taught to chase our dreams, so.....Im glad for him.

It's inspiring to me to see folks pursue their dreams. Though more applicable in college basketball/NBA, when underclassmen or juniors make the jump to the professional league prior to graduation, I hold no ill feelings against them. They are seizing an opportunity to pursue (and in many cases fulfill) lifelong dreams.

I AM PISSSED. jk. Well I'm kinda pissed because I had him ranked so highly at the SAFETY position and we need ONE.

Rolle is a RHODE SCHOLAR and you get to study at OXFORD in ENGLAND if you get this prestigious award. Neuro-surgeon, thats what he wants to do. I wanted him to crack some heads on the DOLPHINS DEFENSE. But oh well....

I suppose he'd rather crack other people's heads open but not risk his own. I applaud him for this decision, and I hope his story gets publicity as an example to other young people. Follow your dream, not the money trail!!

Dude, you've missed the whole point. This guy was hand picked to go to Oxford! He's going to be a neuro-surgeon! That's more important to him than a possible NFL career.

Yeah, but why can't he do like Doug Swift! Be on a couple Dolphins Championship teams, then go do the surgery thing afterward! ( Swift became an anesthesiologist after his NFL career )

Good for Myron. There are many things in life bigger than football, and this is one of them. A once in a lifetime opportunity...he would have been a FOOL to turn it down.

I wish him all the best!
