ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky apparently didn\u2019t pay attention in math class.<\/p>\n

The former quarterback, who got his bachelor\u2019s degree in general studies from UConn in 2017 after leaving for the NFL in 2005, shared during \u201cThe Pat McAfee Show\u201d on Monday how he learned about how percentages work earlier in the day from ESPN producer Paul \u201cHembo\u201d Hembekides.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo Hembo this morning was like, \u2018Joe Burrow, his sack rate is four percent.\u2019 And I said, \u2018Dumb this down for me. No human\u2019s going to hear me say that and I\u2019m going to make them smarter,\u2019\u201d Orlovsky said. \u201cAnd he goes, \u2018Well, what do you mean?\u2019 I said, \u2018What does that actually mean?\u2019 He goes, \u2018Out of every 100 drop-backs, he\u2019s getting sacked four times.\u2019 And I said, \u2018Is that really what it is? It\u2019s always out of 100?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

After the math lesson, McAfee and the rest of his crew were stunned when Orlovsky unveiled the news.<\/p>\n

\u201cHoly f\u2013k,\u201d McAfee said. \u201cThat\u2019s tough, dude. That\u2019s a tough one. Especially with how much you talk about stuff that revolves around percentages.\u201d<\/p>\n

McAfee had a parting shot for Orlovsky after leaving the set.<\/p>\n

\u201cReally don\u2019t know how you do life and how you\u2019ve gotten this far,\u201d McAfee said. \u201cProud of you, man. Way to go, dude. You defied all odds.\u201d<\/p>\n

The revelation surprises those who follow Orlovsky, who previously said he is a fan of numbers.<\/p>\n

\u201cI always loved math as a kid. I was always a numbers person. I think that one of the things that I guess I really enjoy is that I understand football in a math capacity. It\u2019s 11-on-11,\u201d Orlovsky during an appearance on \u201cThe Pivot\u201d podcast.<\/p>\n

Orlovsky isn\u2019t new to on-camera blunders, having incorrectly criticized two-time MVP quarterback Lamar Jackson for missing offseason workouts when he was clearly in attendance back in April of this year.<\/p>\n

This lesson makes people wonder what Orlovsky was up to in the classroom during his time with the Huskies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky apparently didn\u2019t pay attention in math class.
