"As Washington Commanders linebacker Bobby Wagner closes in on a career milestone, he just finished one that could set him up after football. Wagner finished his coursework for an MBA in business at Howard University last week, where he'll graduate in May. He started the 18-month program in January 2024 -- but Wagner said he loaded up on classes this summer to avoid taking them in the spring."
""Sometimes when you come from playing football and go into the business world," he said, "a lot of people feel like the reason why you're able to get into those spaces is because of people that you know and they feel like we skip steps or they feel like we haven't done the work. "I've done the work through challenging times that most people wouldn't have done.""
Bobby Wagner completed coursework for an MBA in business at Howard University and will graduate in May after finishing an 18-month program that began in January 2024. He accelerated his schedule by taking extra classes over the summer, with about 90% of the work online and some in-person attendance. Wagner has pursued business ventures, including becoming a minority investor in the WNBA's Seattle Storm, and pursued the degree to demonstrate seriousness and earned advancement. Wagner is nearing 2,000 career tackles and recently spoke with London Fletcher about what the milestone means while maintaining his love of the game.
