Lions 2013 Rookie Class

Yesterday the Detroit Lions rookies were representing Made In Detroit as they headed to Aurora, OH for the NFL Rookie Symposium.

The NFL Rookie Symposium is an orientation for all drafted rookies based on the four principles of NFL History, Total Wellness, Experience and Professionalism. 

The symposium includes presentations, videos, and workshops focused on these principles as well as other topics, including player health and safety, decision making, mental health, substance abuse and domestic violence prevention, non-discrimination, and maintaining positive relationships.

Rookies are provided with resources and best practices to assist them with their shared responsibility in successfully identifying off-the-field challenges and transitioning from college to the professional level.
