MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Most people in the University of Minnesota's college of education and human development class of 2015 will be pondering their futures.

Bobby Bell's lifelong goal will be reached by walking across the stage.

The Pro Football Hall of Fame linebacker will graduate Thursday from Minnesota, 52 years after his college career was done. The 74-year-old Bell recently returned to the school he left 13 credits short of a degree in recreation, park and leisure studies. The university guided him toward fulfillment of the promise he once made to his late father in North Carolina.

Bell helped lead the Gophers to the 1960 national championship and a 1962 Rose Bowl victory, before a 12-year career with the Kansas City Chiefs that included a Super Bowl title and six All-Pro selections.

Great Great football player but even better man.

Why? He's gonna die within weeks. Too soon?

:grr:

Majored in COBOL programming

It's good to have a backup plan in case the Hall of Fame thing doesn't work out.

Bass ass mother ****er there congrats bobby enjoy that degree!

Considering how they payed players back then I'm guessing he's trying to increase his earning potential.

Good Lord, why do you have to be a Chiefs fan?

Does he really fit into that category?

He's such a nice guy. He will talk for hours.

Because I have a sick fetish for suffering

Bobby made me a Chiefs fan back in 1969. THANKS BOBBY

Met him at a tailgate party before we played the Broncos back in the 90's. Really nice guy, congrats to him.

One of the really really good guys out there.
