When following the NFL, we can only center our energy on what’s out in the open. We can talk about free agency and star players on the move. We can break down the Scouting Combine in Indianapolis. (Even though it can be such a chore.) We can look ahead to the draft, and get excited over top prospects. And, of course, we can watch the games every Sunday, Monday, Thursday, and (sometimes) Saturday.
But our exposure to what happens behind the scenes for all 32 teams is limited. Unless someone lets us behind the curtain, we don’t know what happens across the league when executives, players, and coaches aren’t in plain sight or on social media.
