The NFL only requires teams to hold the three-day Rookie Transition Program. The Seahawks, led by vice president of player engagement Maurice “Mo” Kelly, begin educating their rookies from the moment they join the team on subjects like money management, social responsibility and the potential pitfalls of life in the NFL. So for the Seahawks, the program helps reinforce what was already being taught.
“They can never hear it enough,” Kelly said. “We’ve talked to them on finances. I don’t know how many meetings we’ve had so far, but guess what? They’re still going to make mistakes. They’re still young men, they’re still growing up. Just imagine if you were 21 years old with a lot of money in your pocket. … They’re young individuals, they’re going to make mistakes and we have to be here to help them when they make mistakes.”
