Bills Life: Bills Rookie program provides smooth transition into NFL

Here's what happened this week in the lives of Bills players, coaches and alumni:

For NFL rookies, the transition from college to the pros can seem a bit overwhelming. Between adjusting to a new city and new playbook, there’s certainly a lot to take in. At the Buffalo Bills, the newcomers took part in a comprehensive Rookie program to help make their transition as smooth as possible. The seven-week initiative, run by Buffalo’s Player Engagement Department, covers a wide range of topics such as, character development, finance, credit, mental wellness, substance abuse and social media. By building an early foundation for success, Director of Player Engagement and Bills alumni Marlon Kerner believes the rookies will not only be prepared for the NFL but also for life after football.
