The Concept
NFL University uses NFL players in a setting similar to NCAA D1 Football. NFL Players in their first four years in the NFL comprise the player pool (Rookies = freshmen, 2nd year players = sophomores, etc.) The league includes recruiting, rivalry & bowl games, NCAA player and team trophies, redshirts, a transfer portal, verbal commitments, etc. in an attempt to get as close to college football as possible while still making a competitive fantasy football league.
