I have to disagree, for many, many reasons.
I started playing football in 5th grade, back in the 70’s, after watching every football on TV for 10 years.
I quickly realized, I knew nothing.
I didn’t know about gaps 1, 3, 5 or 7 nor 2, 4, 6 or 8.
I didn’t know about wind sprints or running laps or push ups or sit ups.
I watched it on TV, I wanted to play. What’s all this?
Bottom line: It provides structure for kids. Add to that, 95% of these NFL players have known each other since age 12 at the various “NFL, not NFL” camps they all attend.
These guys have been friends and peers for most of their lives.
They don’t want to kill their livelihood.
