George Plimpton did it first with the Detroit Lions...

Plimpton was the incerse. He was pretending to be an NFL level kicker when he was really just a snob well-suited to sell Intellivision game consoles.

Goff and Manning are #1 overall picks pretending they still have to work their way onto a college roster.

“He was pretending to be an NFL level kicker…”

IIRC he got permission from a team to train like a QB and was permitted to play one down in a pre-season game. I remember reading it when I was young.
