In addition to being a rather nifty bonus for the players, a digital playbook is substantially less bulky than a paper one, and would allow additional tools like animated play diagrams, and videos of old games.
So instead of a wad of paper the size of a phone book, all 90 players of the team will be getting brand, shiny, new iPad 2s.
“It’s crazy how much technology has changed the game,” second-year safety Cody Grimm said. “Back in the day, I think probably the whole team had to sit down with a projector and a reel, and watch the film together. They’d have the whole offense in the same meeting room. Now we all have our own iPad. Stuff that we used to come in here to see, we can sit on our couch at home and have access to it 24-7. It’s awesome.
