Out of the seven players the Jacksonville Jaguars took in the 2022 NFL Draft, two of them majored in engineering. Kentucky center Luke Fortner studied aerospace engineering, and Wyoming linebacker Chad Muma majored in mechanical engineering.
Fortner joined XL Primetime on 1010XL on Wednesday to talk about how he juggled football with academics while also discussing how the Jaguars want to use him.
“I probably let a little too much of football slip early in my career and focused a little too much on school,” he said. “So toward the end here, I kind of went back to focusing on football. Now I have my aerospace degree, and I’m OK at football.”
