A team is allowed to have 90 players at the start of training camp, and must cut down to 53 before week 1 of the regular season (plus a ten man practice squad). This means that 1184 players will be cut before ever playing in an official game.
Yeah but 1183 of those players don’t matter. Only Sam does. He’s the most famous 249th draft pick of all time.
Your facts are bigoted.
