NFL teams always give their rookies a crash course in football at their first minicamp, Some, like the Rams, give them some financial tips before they hand them a bonus check.

But the Buccaneers want to make sure their draft class knows which fork to use.

Via Greg Auman of the Tampa Bay Times, the Buccaneers put their rookies through a three-hour etiquette class this week.

“I walked away from there saying ‘What gentlemen, every single one of them,'” said etiquette coach Patricia Rossi, who has worked with other NFL and MLB teams.
