60% of NFL Player Engagement Professionals Worked in the NCAA before the NFL
I decided to do a deeper study after listening to the NFL Player Engagement webinar
The NFL Player Engagement held a webinar a few weeks ago. I talked about the webinar and what I learned from it. (Click here to listen to it after reading this newsletter.)
One thing the NFL Player Engagement staff did a GREAT job of was letting those 500+ people on the call know college athletics is a great place to start your path towards a POSSIBLE opportunity at the NFL level.
So I decided to do some research and calculated statistics on the following areas:
How many player engagement professionals are in the league
How long they have been in those roles
How many started in college athletics
How many teams have more than one person in the role
How many are former NFL players
How many are women
This was a cool study and I learned a lot about the above metrics. You can find that podcast here:
In prepping for this podcast I highlighted the paths of seven people I know in player engagement. You can find those professionals and their graphics below.
