FIRST-YEAR PLAYERS LAMBEAU FIELD Rookies are players in their first year of pro football who have not been on another pro football team’s roster for anyregular-season or postseason games. First-year players are those who have played in other pro sports leagues (Arena Football MISC.League, etc.), have participated in previous NFL training camps, or have been on an NFL team’s active, inactive or reserve listfewer than six games. The rule originated when Lawrence McCutcheon, drafted by the Los Angeles Rams in 1972, played only three gameshis “rookie” season, then rushed for 1,097 yards in 1973. Today, due to McCutcheon and because rosters began expandingaround the 1970 NFL-AFL merger (reserve lists formalized, etc.), that year is considered the beginning of the rookie rule. Sotoday, for records purposes, the Packers use 1970 as a separator. From 1921-69, anyone who had yet to play three leaguegames was generally considered a rookie. 269
