Chargers RB Branden Oliver returns to college for his degree
Last weekend, Branden Oliver spoke to rookies about the importance of a career after football.
This week, the Chargers ballcarrier backed his words up. Oliver returned to Buffalo this spring to finish earning his degree in sociology in association with the NFL’s Continuing Education Program.
“It means a lot,” Oliver told MyFantasySportsTalk.com. “I’m proud that I have finished and have set a standard for my future children, nieces, nephews and others that look up to me.”
NFL Rookie Symposium attendees have a perfect role model in Oliver as well. After a breakout 2014, the 5-foot-6 running back still accounted for his long-term future.
He was only two credits away from a sociology degree at the University of Buffalo. Perhaps Oliver is only just getting started helping future NFLers.
