Not to be confused with anyone else, MLFB is a developmental league where players will participate for a variety of reasons
Players will receive more coaching in preparation for another look by the NFL and other leagues
Players can come back after a previous injury that restricted their ability to tryout or perform to the best of their ability for the NFL
A player that has the skill and talent to play at the professional level of football and wants to continue to live that dream
MLFB is a league that knows its purpose:
Develop players, coaches, trainers, and front office personnel
Give fans more of an “inside look” at how professional football works
Capture more audio during the games (coaches, players, trainers, sideline chatter)
More content delivery focusing on how these players and coaches actually develop into professionals
Give the fans the “how’s and why’s” of becoming and maintaining the ability to be a professional football player e.g., What does an offensive lineman practice to get better? Defensive ends? Running backs? Why do they choose to endure the pain, the injuries and the incredibly hard work?
MLFB will experiment with different elements of football to enhance the experience for players and viewers, but make sure to stay true to the integrity of the game
MLFB does not compete with the NFL, we support it through:
Getting our players coached up sufficiently so they’re ready to play in the NFL
Prepare coaching staff – from head coach, to coordinators, to position coaches
Train front office staff
Unique cities with no NFL overlap
A spring league that prepares the players, coaches, trainers and front office staff to be ready in July if an NFL opportunity opens up
