Just this year, the league has punished ten players for placing wagers while on league grounds or wagering on NFL games .

Since the 1963 season, the NFL has suspended players for infractions involving gambling. Despite being suspended for the 1963 season, Paul Hornung and Alex Karras were inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. However, only this year, the league has suspended ten players for placing wagers while on league grounds or wagering on NFL games. This offseason, the NFL increased its efforts to better inform players—especially rookies—about where, when, and what kinds of wagers they can make.
