Questions About Nfl Careers Contact

Laura asks…

How do you get into NFL coaching as a career?

How would somebody looking to getting into coaching in the NFL go about doing that? Would you have to contact a team, or is it better to start off in college?

admin answers:

There are two paths to take. The first is as a player. The second is to work your way up through the coaching ranks.

As a player you would need to show a keen interest in learning the details of football. ALL details! You should expect to learn something new every day. While you are playing ask your coaches questions. Why use a certain defense on certain plays? Why not use a player on a certain down? This will not only gain you knowledge but it will also show that you are interested in the finer details of the game -- this could be a sign that you would be a good coaching candidate.

The second method is by starting off as a small-time coach. NFL coaches have already proven themselves in various areas before they became head NFL coaches. Go to clinics. Attend workshops. Map out a plan for becoming an NFL coach and do your best to stick with it. Try to work with other coaches as much as possible, especially the successful ones.

And don't be surprised if you have to start off at the high school level.

It will take many years, but if that is what you want then it will be worth the wait!

Donald asks…

Can anyone tell me what brand and model mouth guard Walter Payton used during his 13 year NFL Career?

I've contacted chicagobears.com, and they were going to search in their archives, but they haven't got back to me yet, this was months ago. Someone out there must know the answer to this question. Have a great day!

Michael asks…

How will a Bronze Medal in the Special Olympics help me get in the NFL?

I won a Bronze Medal in the egg toss at the recent games, and now my Tommy Brady inflatable doll is telling me that I could quite possibly parlay that into a career as a quarterback in the NFL...

Should I get in touch with the New York Football Patriots? Or will they be contacting me?

Daniel asks…

Top 5 RB's of all time?

This debate has raged literally for years and years now. what do you guys think? Here's my opinion of the top five:

1. Barry Sanders - It broke every fan's heart when he stopped at 30, but the lions wouldnt let him go, and they were BAD! And yes, he would have put the record out of reach, probably 20k plus.

2. Jim Brown - This is probably 1b instead of two. And like barry, quit way too early. But he had other things going (Boxing, acting, politics), so can't really blame him for this. Little known fact, was also the best lacrosse player in history.

3. Walter Payton - Took the BYOB (Be Your Own Blocker) philosophy to a whole new level. Superior back for a bad team except for a few season, even better man off the field. NEVER ran out of bounds, lived for contact.

4. O.J. Simpson - Before he turned into the second dumbest person in history (sorry, nobody beats Vick), the man was a flat out monster. Followed 2 monster years at USC which included a heisman with a super NFL career on terrible teams. Had good power, and even better speed for a bigger back. Still the only person to rn for 2000 yds in 14 games.

5 Emmitt Smith - This is probably the hardest spot to pick. So, Emmitt has to get the nod here a he did show the durability to break the nfl rushing record, and has 3 super bowls with an mvp award to match it. Not the biggest, not the fastest, not the shiftiest, but used his line and blockers better than anybody in history.

Honorable mention: Gale Sayers - Even better pure runner than Barry, which is saying alot. Terrible knee injuries in an era where there was not the medical technology to save his promising career.

Eric Dickerson - Ugh, I hated him. But man, what a back. 1800 as a rookie, 2105 in his second year. Too bad he played for the Rams. Oh, and you dont get run down when you have a 30 yd head start on the closest DB! (even if it is a prime Darrell Green.. lol)

Barry is the best
