How New NFL Draftees Get Their Names On Their Jersey So Fast

While watching the NFL Draft the other nite, a question popped into my head: How do they get the a Rookie's name on the back of his new team's jersey SO Fast? It had me SO baffled that I HAD to find an ANSWER! So I did some digging, and THIS is what I was able to come up with.....

The answer comes from Frank Schwab of Yahoo Sports who writes:

"Every player who is in New York to hear  their name called and give a big bro hug to commissioner Roger Goodell  is given an official team hat (on sale now!) and a jersey with their  name on the back.

Wait, how did that happen if they were just  drafted? No, they don't have 300 jerseys for every team in the back and  dig out the Tavon Austin Rams jersey when St. Louis takes him.

Nike, who took over as the official jersey  supplier to the NFL last year, is on site and presses the names on as  the picks come in.

Nike did that for the first time last year. It's just good  business for Nike to keep that going this year, which is why all the  picks have new No. 1 jerseys to mug for photos with."

We're guessing the guys in the back like  picks like "Ansah" and "Fisher" more than "Richardson," but they've  cranked them all out for the new first-round picks."

LL's Comment: If they REALLY want to save some time, next year, they just need to already have the names on ALL eligible Alabama players in the draft, printed on EVERY team's  jersey......because YOU know they're gonna wind up on SOMEBODY'S team:-)   ROLL TIDE!!!!
