NFL officials gathered in Dallas last weekend for their annual Kickoff meeting, reviewing key points of emphasis from the preseason.

During preseason, replay crews head to Art McNally Gameday Central in New York to continue preparing for the regular season.

“Without you and what you do, it’s just practice.”

The NFL Officiating staff wishes all interscholastic officials throughout the country good luck on their upcoming season.

The Art McNally Award honors past or current game officials who have demonstrated exemplary professionalism, leadership, and commitment to sportsmanship both on the football field and in the community.

Wayne Mackie represented the National Football League with dignity and class and possessed a tremendous passion for the game. He was a respected leader who impacted the lives of all who knew him.
