NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero is reporting that the NFL has informed all of the teams that they will be limited to inviting no more than five tryout players to rookie minicamps that will take place after the NFL Draft.
The NFL informed clubs today they'll be limited to a maximum of five tryout players at rookie minicamps next month, per source.
Some teams traditionally have invited dozens of unsigned players to compete with draft picks and undrafted signings. Smaller events in 2021.— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) April 22, 2021This is most likely a precaution to have fewer participants in rookie minicamps due to COVID-19, as teams were only informed that this would be the case for 2021.
