I just caught this season’s ESPN show “Hey Rookie. Welcome to the NFL”. To be honest, I hadn’t been sure what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the show.

It followed rookies from the Dolphins, the Texans, the Vikings and the Panthers as they went through training camps and into preseason games. It did a great job of highlighting not only how difficult it is to make it into an NFL team roster, but then how much more work it takes to secure and keep a starting spot.

Even better the show gave real insight into the kind of technical detail that goes into each position and role in a team. Everything from the position of a player’s heels at the snap to the timing of the run and pass. If you didn’t already love this game, then at the very least this show should give you a healthy respect for it.
