NFL telling teams to prepare for moving away from virtual OTAs

Some good news has arrived, as the NFL has informed teams to get ready for players to hit the field this spring. 

More and more, sports fans are starting to see things return to normalcy. Recently, Roger Goodell even came out and said he’s expecting NFL stadiums to be at full capacity once the 2021 season rolls around. Some more good news has come in as well.

That’s because according to insider Tom Pelissero, the league has informed teams that while there will be virtual meetings when offseason programs begin next month, the plan is for the workouts to take place back on the gridiron and in the weight rooms.

The NFL is planning for the players to grind in person during offseason workouts this spring

No one has forgotten about what happened in 2020. At this point last year, everyone’s lives changed, with the coronavirus pandemic changing everything as we knew it. This of course included the NFL, which had to change up its offseason plans and have everything go online.

As you might have been able to imagine, this tossed everyone for a loop as they tried to get prepared for the 2021 campaign. Fortunately, cases are down, vaccinations are being administered left and right and the country is slowly but surely opening back up.

Once the offseason programs do start, every team will be focused on getting ready to try and unseat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as Super Bowl champs. Tom Brady took home another Lombardi Trophy in his first season with the Bucs and Bruce Arians now has a fresh new tattoo to honor the unforgettable victory over Kansas City.

Now, the players are getting mentally prepared to get their new seasons underway. Fans across the country can’t wait for things to get going either.
