The Rookie Handbook is a series based on the book by NFL veterans Ryan Kalil, Geoff Hangartner, and Jordan Gross, aired as a lead-in to Thursday Night Football. It presents a humorous look at the pitfalls of players’ first year in the league.

Our role in the project was to prepare animations for episode 4 of the series, titled ‘Walter Payton Special Donut’. The entire series can be viewed on Effie Studios website, with whom we collaborated on the animation.
