Today's career path
How to play
- Read the path: every franchise the player was on, in the order he joined, with the seasons of each spell.
- Type a name and pick it from the list. You have 6 guesses.
- Each miss tells you how many of the path's teams that player shared, and unlocks a hint: position, draft, college, then initials.
- A new daily player at midnight UTC; unlimited mode deals a new one every round.
The 1,174 possible players are current and retired players with a page here who were on at least three franchises. Seasons come from the nflverse roster files (1960–2026, CC BY 4.0). Old team names are shown under today's franchise (Houston Oilers seasons appear as Tennessee Titans, Oakland seasons as Las Vegas Raiders).
