NFL Offseason Workout Structure for 2025

The NFL offseason program is crucial for team development and player preparation. The league has structured these workouts into three distinct phases:

• Phase One: Focuses on meetings, strength conditioning, and physical rehabilitation (2 weeks)
• Phase Two: Includes individual drills and group work without contact (3 weeks)
• Phase Three: Features organized team practices known as OTAs (4 weeks)

During OTAs, teams can conduct:

• 7-on-7 drills
• 9-on-7 drills
• 11-on-11 scenarios

All teams must hold at least one mandatory minicamp, typically occurring in June.
