Ten NFL players have been suspended for gambling violations since April, and the infractions have revealed a foundational problem: Many players say they aren't familiar with the league policy, especially the part that prohibits betting from team and league facilities or while on the road with their teams. And some want that policy to change.
ESPN interviewed 53 players, a full NFL roster's worth, to find out the prevalence of sports betting, whether players fully understand the NFL gambling policy and what aspects they would change. The players were provided anonymity to let them speak candidly, although some chose to speak on the record.
