Additionally, it investigates prevalent challenges encountered by external organizations in today's labor market, including shortages of skilled workers, prevalent job transitions, and the pervasive issue of employee burnout. Through a multimodal analysis, this research identifies parallels between player acquisition dynamics in the NFL and the talent acquisition practices of external organizations, proposing strategies for external organizations to integrate NFL-inspired personnel tactics to bolster their capacity to attract, nurture, and retain talented employees.

By bridging insights from professional sports team-building and corporate human resources, this research provides actionable recommendations for external organizations to cultivate robust talent pipelines, optimize human capital investments, and sustain competitive advantages through strategic staffing methodologies.
