While the spotlight shines on the 53 players of an NFL team's active roster, the league's practice squad members quietly secure substantial paychecks. These 17-player units, which train and travel with teams but don't suit up for games, offer rookies $13,000 weekly and veterans up to $22,000 per week over the 18-week season.

Breiden Fehoko, a defensive tackle recently released by the Pittsburgh Steelers, highlighted the financial upside on social media: "I be laughing when people say 'you're a Practice Squad player bum'—400k for 6 months of work." The compensation structure creates an unusual labor dynamic where developmental players can outearn many white-collar professionals during the season.
