National Football League (NFL) Team Pre-Season Prospectus Collection
Scope and Contents
This collection contains pre-season prospectuses published by teams in the National Football League. The annual prospectuses generally included biographies of coaches and players, statistics, schedules, and other information. The prospectuses—produced closer to the beginning of the pre-season—were often typed and mimeographed and were less extensive than the contemporaneous team media guides.
Formats include prospectuses.
