Nfl3

The NFL3 is an amateur football league that was founded in 1999 by Robert Licopoli. The league is intended to create some unity among the previously fragmented world of amateur football in the United States. About 100 teams are members of the NFL3, which operates through a franchise model.

The NFL3 bills itself as a minor league for the NFL. The NFL3 hosts an annual combine for NFL scouts. Younger players who are not in college find the NFL3 to be a useful venue for displaying their talents for college scouts. The league's network with NFL and college scouts is a major reason that NFL3 players are willing to pay their expenses to play.
