The 2017 Rookie Training Camp was nearing its end, and although this year was generally considered an off-year compared to the comprehensive breakout of rookies in 2012, the camp still saw a number of promising new players emerge, keeping scouts and teams busy.
After the physical tests, the Rookie Training Camp had one final phase:
Interviews.
Representatives from all thirty-two teams would arrive at Lucas Oil Stadium, armed with a list compiled from the camp results and scout reports.
This list had limited slots; with so many players at the Rookie Training Camp, teams couldn't interview everyone. They mainly focused on those prospects they were interested in but still had more questions about, inviting these players to the team's hotel rooms for conversations.
The interviews often lasted only ten to fifteen minutes, and sometimes even five, a very brief and efficient exchange of opinions.
Perhaps some may wonder, can such a brief interview really change anything?
