NFL offers fourth annual “Broadcast Boot Camp”

Twenty-five current and former NFL players will take part in the annual “NFL Broadcast Boot Camp” at NFL Films in Mt. Laurel, New Jersey.

The program, which runs from June 21-24, is directed by the NFL Broadcasting Department and covers a wide range of topics with instructors from each of the NFL’s broadcast partners – CBS, ESPN, FOX, NBC, NFL Network, SIRIUS Satellite Radio, Westwood One Radio, plus local radio and TV.  It will include hands-on work in areas such as tape study, editing, show preparation, radio production, control room operation, studio preparation, production meetings, field reporting and game preparation. 

Of the 65 players who took part in the Broadcast Boot Camp from 2007-2009, 28 have already earned broadcasting jobs as a result of their participation in the program.

“We continue to look for ways to help players develop skills to enhance their NFL and post-NFL careers.  Many of last year’s participants used this program as a career springboard and two have returned (Derek Rackley and Ross Tucker) to help this year’s class,” said NFL Vice President of Labor Policy and Player Development Adolpho Birch. 

Below are complete lists of the players participating and the broadcasting talent and production professionals who will lend their expertise to the program.
