Who do you know? If you do a "family tree" of most NFL players, you'll generally see a direct link to a relative or coach who also played in the NFL.

We see hundreds of top level talent not make NFL teams because when it comes down to selection time, it's the relationship to a brother, father or coach that is or has been affiliated with an NFL team.

There are less politics at the UFL and Arena league level, however, less positions and less pay as well.

Our advice is, in addition to staying out of trouble, working out and making game film, we highly recommend building a personal relationship with someone in the NFL.  If you have talent, you will at least get a look.
