During the 2007-2008 season, NFL conducted online chats with experts on various forensic issues. This platform has been replaced with an even more dynamic online community at http://www.forensicsonline.net.
You can still view our archive of chats regarding coaching resources, topic discussions, event specific techniques, tournament management, special events, alumni connection, and a much, much, more.
