It’s double-header time on Schooled with the Professor!
First, we had a chance to talk to new Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper. David grew up in Pittsburgh. In fact, he graduated from the University of Pittsburgh two years after I graduated from Duquesne University. Both of us grew up in tough towns on the outskirts of Pittsburgh. Both of us were fortunate to learn and have great instincts growing up in that environment. Tepper became a billionaire. He bought a minority share of the Pittsburgh Steelers and then purchased the Panthers from Jerry Richardson. Many believe he’s going to be a dynamic owner.
At the NFL owners meetings, we caught up with former Seahawk Shawn Springs. Springs was a great cornerback for the Seahawks. He’s also become a great businessman. Springs won an award from the NFL for a company that is trying to make helmets safer in football. On Schooled, we talk player safety, Seahawks and Dwayne Haskins. Springs has worked closely with Haskins in the past few years because of his close relationship with the family. Haskins is expected to be a first-round selection at quarterback.
