If you explained to the non-football fan what the NFL offseason is like, they’d ask you when the offseason started because surely there has to be some sort of break. Newsflash: there really isn’t.
As soon as the Super Bowl is over, there’s the Senior Bowl. Then, there’s the NFL Combine, legal tampering, free agency, the NFL Draft, rookie camp, training camp, the preseason, and then NFL opening day will be here. The events between the Super Bowl and opening day were relegated to something you’d read about in the newspaper (what an old-fashioned phrase) or you’d hear about the highlights on SportsCenter.
