There has not been an NFL player suspended for gambling violations in over a year, and the league is reportedly doing what it can to continue that momentum.
Rob Maaddi of the Associated Press reported Thursday that the NFL is requiring in-person gambling policy education and training for all its players in 2024 as part of its efforts to increase gambling education and monitoring.
Ten players were suspended last offseason for gambling violations.
"Education and training is presented to the players—typically at the team facility—by a member of the NFL's compliance team, the team's head of player engagement (often a former player), or by other former NFL players using the 'train the trainer' approach," the NFL, which worked with the NFL Players Association to prepare the training, said.
