All eyes are on the big stars in the National Football League. When the quarter-finals come around this weekend, the focus will be on quarterbacks like Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson or spectacular players like Saquon Barkley. But there are thousands of people who keep the NFL running. These include jobs you wouldn't necessarily think of.

Dentist: The medical staff on game days is usually very extensive. They include a radiologist and a neurotrauma consultant. What is a little more curious, however, is that every team is obliged to have a dentist with them. After all, something more serious could happen in the event of a collision during a match.
