Each year the NFL cycles in a new wave of rookies, all eager for their shot at the professional level. Currently, the Oakland Raiders have a total of 28 rookies on the roster, and they recently participated in the team’s annual rookie symposium to learn more about life in the NFL. These young men encounter many scenarios as professional athletes, and preparing them for said events or situations is important.
