Pay probably pales compared to the NFL, but maybe it's a way for unheralded players to prove themselves and work their way up to the NFL.

With everyone mic'd up they really have to watch their language.  Keeping their language clean must be emphasized in practice because every football sideline I've been on it was pretty salty.

It does. Players will make about 60k plus benefits for the season. 

Not much, but it pays the rent and beats minor league baseball. More then I made for 10 years after college until finishing residency.  It remains to be seen how many can make the jump to NFL but if you’re not ready to give up the dream for a few years it doesn’t seem a terrible option.
