The National Football League is America's most popular sport. It's grown into a multi-billion dollar business and the annual draft pick is closely watched around the world. This time last year, the first pick signed a contract worth more than $30m over four years, with a $22m signing bonus. Even the last pick - the 256th to be precise - went for around $2.5m with the signing bonus cut to a paltry $70,000. Professor Cade Massey of the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, explains the nuts and bolts of the system.
