“I Wasn’t Able To Finish My Master’s Degree”: Pro Bowl Star From Green Bay Packers Makes An Emotional Revelation While Announcing His Post-Retirement Plans

Many NFL players, once they get into the league, are forced to set aside certain plans for their futures. Most of the players who are drafted into the league are forced to leave their degrees in between. One of them was Green Bay Packers star, De’Vondre Campbell.

He recently opened up about how he had to leave his master’s degree in between to play in the NFL. Playing in the league is always the ultimate goal, but some players also want to pursue an education and earn a degree, which few in their families have. As a result, they want to be an inspiration for the upcoming generations of their family.

De’Vondre Campbell recently wrote on Twitter, “It really bothers me that I wasn’t able to finish my Masters Degree due to being drafted I only had like one semester left but between my career being a full-time parent and husband it’s so hard to find time. When I retire I’m definitely going back to finish it.”

Campbell will surely have time after retiring to complete his degree. He wants to become an inspiration to many. Other players in the future will also look to follow the same path once they are done playing. Many young players come from very humble backgrounds. Achieving success on the field and in college is an enormous deal for them.

De’Vondre Campbell and the Green Bay Packers have a huge season ahead

Last season, it looked like the Green Bay Packers would win it all. Everything was clicking for them in the regular season. Aaron Rodgers looked like the best quarterback in the league and the team was even the first seed in the NFC and received a first-round bye in the playoffs.

Unfortunately, they weren’t able to win a single playoff game last season. The San Francisco 49ers got the better of the Green Bay Packers at their own home and shattered the dreams of every Packers player and fan.

The upcoming season will again be a huge one for them. With Davante Adams leaving the Packers and the offense getting few replacements, the pressure will be on the defense of the team. De’Vondre Campbell and Jaire Alexander will be required to lead from the front. Hopefully, everything will click for them on both ends of the field. They’ll hope to finally win the 2nd Super Bowl of the Aaron Rodgers era.
