Passionate Pros Taking Teaching to the Next Level
Football University is headlined by its elite instructional staff, made up of former NFL coaches and players. No other camp, combine, or showcase event in the country offers the NFL-level quality and quantity of instruction that FBU does.
Almost all of our instructors currently train, on a private basis, top NFL players in the offseason and college athletes preparing for the NFL Scouting Combine and the NFL Draft. They agree to teach at FBU because they understand that FBU gathers football players who desire and are prepared for the elite instruction they provide.
