The NFL will not allow on-site training for recruiters due to health and safety precautions.
The league informed teams that all practice will take place on individual professional days on college campuses. The interviews with the hopes and the psychological tests and evaluations will be done virtually.
“We will work with schools to encourage consistency of tests and exercises throughout professional days. We will make sure that all clubs have access to broadcast of these practices, whether or not they are represented at a particular practice, ”the NFL told the teams on Monday in a note obtained by The Associated Press.
The league is working with team medics and athletic coaches to get full medical information on each of the invited prospects. The plan will likely include a combination of virtual interviews by medical staff and tests performed at laboratories as well as at medical facilities near a hope’s residence.
An in-person review will be held at one or more designated locations, likely in early April, for a number of hopefuls. Each team will be allowed to send a doctor and a sports coach to perform these exams in person.
