| New York Giants Youth Football Camps |
To get a job in the NFL, you have to be smart, competitive, proactive, qualified, lucky, connected and tougher than a nine mile detour.
And I am talking about getting jobs in an NFL office, not on the playing field.
At Pro Sports Experience Youth Football Camps, we talk to the kids about “jobs in the NFL” and frequently have team employees visit the camps.
Youth football campers want to know what “jobs in the NFL” are like.
Here’s a brief summary of what we tell them.
