What happens after the NFL Draft?
The NFL Draft is only the beginning of a player’s journey in the NFL. For many players, the goal is to simply be drafted – to have their name called and know that an NFL team wants them on their roster. But for those players who are fortunate enough to have their name called, there’s still a lot of work to be done. After the draft, players will report to their new team’s facilities and begin working out with their teammates. They’ll also start learning the team’s playbook and getting accustomed to the speed of the NFL game. For some players, this will be a tough transition and they may be cut from the team before the season even starts. But for those who make it through training camp and the preseason, they’ll be one step closer to realizing their dream of playing in the NFL.
