Abstract
This paper presents some empirical evidence on the issue of whether the rookie draft in professional football promotes competitive balance in the winning records of National Football League teams. The results suggest that the rookie draft is a balancing institution, and that the ability to use the draft to improve winning performance varies across teams.
