Do you read the sports page? If you're the elite of the elite, yeah, hiring decisions are often quick. If you're only good enough to get drafted in the 3rd or later rounds, expect to spend a lot of time doing combines and visiting exercises and then be assigned to minor leagues. Even if you get called up, expect to be traded without your input unless you're the best of the best. Don't get injured. Even the best of the best can't always pick their teammates.
