Back to the U

Andre Johnson is back at the U. No Miami fans not to play but to finish getting his education. That's why he's back at the University of Miami this semester. Working toward a degree. Making good on a promise. He's 30 hours away from a liberal arts degree and is taking three sociology classes worth 12 hours this spring. It has been 7 years since he sat in a classroom and dominating on Saturdays. He represents what every professional athlete should represent. All that's missing on his résumé is a trip to the playoffs. He believes he has a more substantive contribution to make and thinks his second career will be coaching high school football. He'll play in his fourth Pro Bowl tonight after a season in which he led the NFL in receiving yards for a second straight season and was third with catches.

Note: 11 former Hurricanes in this Pro Bowl is a record for players from one school, breaking the mark of 9 by USC in the 1986 game.
