The NFL is nothing at all like the workplace normal everyday people know, and that's a good thing.
Imagine a strange world in which each spring there's a nationally televised event when your potential replacement is not only selected, but also paraded around. He's interviewed, shakes hands with the company president and is even given a uniform right away.
As all that happens you're at home watching and perhaps munching on Cheetos. So immediately you drift to the kitchen for more comfort food. So much more.
Junk consumption aside, that likely describes how veteran players experience the NFL draft, especially the first few rounds.
