But before the regular season begins, teams are allowed to have as many players as they want. The National Football League has pre-season games in place for teams to make cuts to get to the official fifty-three man roster. Most teams get a large part of their roster in April at the draft, at this point teams can have as many players as they want, until the first game of the regular season comes in September. Before the season starts, most professional teams begin their off-season team work-outs in March and continue those until camp starts in July. Through the process of training camp, and seeing the players in pre-season games, the coaching staff is able to make the decisions about who makes the official team. When making the team in college, cutting players doesn’t happen, it’s all about recruiting. Most division I schools are allowed eighty-five scholarships to handout (Football Financial Aid). The coaching and recruiting staff then go watch high school games to find players to put on their team. They also look for current collegiate players that are looking to transfer schools. When looking at recruits, it’s important to remember how many scholarships they are allowed, and who they think will be able to play the best, so they are able to compete in professional football.

With a gradual change in play calling philosophies, that trend has shifted dramatically since 2010. Such a dramatic shift - that now getting a top tier wide receiver is a higher draft priority than stocking up on ball carriers. However, since 2010 a few NFL fantasy superstars have been consistently the best point producers.

Moreover, if a team’s offense is on the field, their defense is on the sideline. A team’s offense includes a center, who snaps the ball to the quarterback. The “QB” then has a choice to run with the ball, hand it off to a running back, or throw it to a wide receiver. The quarterback has an offensive line to protect him from the assailing defense. If a teammate happens to score a touchdown, he earns his team six points, which allows for the kicker to kick an extra point, and give his team a total of seven points. However, if the offense fails to travel at least ten yards within four attempts, or “downs,” they have the opti...
