Football is hiring season. This episode is the full A-to-Z blueprint for the 2026 NFL Draft pipeline—from game tape to Shrine Bowl + Senior Bowl, Combine, Pro Days, team visits, Draft Weekend, and the UDFA sprint.

We built this for players + parents who want the process to feel like a plan (not chaos). We also cover compliance landmines: NCAA eligibility, agent rules, SPARTA, and how to avoid “too-good-to-be-true” recruiting tactics.
