Filed under: NFL Draft The annual NFL Rookie Symposium kicked off yesterday and continues through Wednesday, with all 252 players who were drafted in April finding out how Roger Goodell wants them to conduct themselves. Thomas George of NFL.com has a synopsis of what the players can expect : On Monday the players will hear presentations on substance abuse (particularly steroid policy and awareness) and financial advice. Tuesday, the focus is a youth football clinic and player conduct. The symposium concludes Wednesday with a sex education guide (particularly an HIV overview) and life skills emphasis. The Symposium has been met with almost universal praise as a great way for the league to introduce its new players to professional football, but you've got to think a large portion of these 22-year-olds don't want to spend four days in a lecture hall. As Falcons cornerback Wilrey Fontenot says, "Some guys' attention span might not be that great with this." Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments ...
