As players enter the National Football League it is without a doubt a major culture shock. They have money in their bank account (debatable if you went to USC) and the sole focus can be dedicated to playbook study, weight room time and eating right as opposed to the distractions a student athlete navigates while playing a sport and obtaining a degree (again, debatable if you graduated from Notre Dame with a degree in Graphic Design-see Manti T’eo). One this is totally undeniable; playing Madden 25 does not make you a better football player. Now the real question is who told Teddy Bridgewater that it did?
