  • NFL: 2013 Official Playing Rules of the National Football League
    2013 OFFICIAL PLAYING RULES OF THE NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE Roger Goodell, Commissioner Preface This edition of the Official Playing Rules of the National Football League contains all current rules governing the playing of professional football that are in effect for the 2013 NFL season. Member clubs of the League may amend the rules from time to time, pursuant to the applicable voting procedures of the NFL Constitution and Bylaws. Any intra-League dispute or call for interpretation in connection with these rules will be decided by the Commissioner of the League, whose ruling will be final. Because interconference games are played throughout the preseason, regular season, and postseason in the NFL, all rules contained in this book apply uniformly to both the American and National Football Conferences. At many places in the text there are approved rulings which serve to supplement and illustrate the basic language of the rules. Each is headed by an abbreviation, followed by a number (e.g. “A.R. 3.20”). The letter “A” in an approved ruling indicates the team that puts the ball in play, and its opponents are designated by the letter “B.” Whenever a team is in possession of the ball, it is the offense, and at such time its opponent is the defense. Yard lines and players are indicated by numerals. Thus, for example: “A.R. 5.1 Third-and-10 on A30. During a run prior to an intended pass by quarterback A1, defensive player B1 holds flanker A2 on the A45…” Where the word “illegal” appears in this rule book, it is an institutional term of art pertaining strictly to actions that violate NFL playing rules.

  • Former NFL All-Pro Derrick Brooks Named Walter Camp Alumni Award Recipient Former Florida State and Tampa Bay Buccaneers Linebacker Will Be Honored on January 12
    For Immediate Release: December 11, 2012 Contact: Al Carbone (203) 671-4421 Follow us on Twitter @WalterCampPR Former NFL All-Pro Derrick Brooks Named Walter Camp Alumni Award Recipient Former Florida State and Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker will be honored on January 12 NEW HAVEN, CT – Former NFL All-Pro linebacker Derrick Brooks (Florida State University) is the recipient of the 2012 Walter Camp “Alumni Award.” Brooks joins a distinguished list of former “Alumni Award” winners, including Alan Page (Notre Dame), Bo Jackson (Auburn), Tony Dorsett (Pittsburgh), Herschel Walker (Georgia), Mark May (Pittsburgh) and last year’s recipient, Chris Spielman (Ohio State). The Walter Camp “Alumni of the Year” award is bestowed on a worthy individual who has distinguished himself in the pursuit of excellence as an athlete, in his personal career and in doing good works for others. He must be an individual who has exhibited dedication and good moral conduct in achieving success. He must be a compassionate and unselfish person who contributes his time and assistance in helping to encourage and comfort fellow human beings less talented and less fortunate than himself. He must be an individual who takes pride in having been a Walter Camp All-American. “We are pleased to recognize Derrick Brooks with the Walter Camp Alumni Award,” Foundation president John Marks said. “Derrick’s exceptional results on the football field pale in comparison to his charity work and advocacy of the value of education for young people.” A native of Pensacola, FL, Brooks played scholastically at Washington High School and was named to Florida’s “All-Century Team” as one of the Top 33 players in the state’s 100-year history of high school football.
