Although, now I feel compelled to ask you for rookie hazing stories

I never saw anything terrible. Worst is probably your rookie dinner, where you have to take the veterans at your position group out to a fancy restaurant and pay for it all, but guys were pretty good about respecting who had money and who didn’t. Mine cost about $1.2k

So here's a "deeper" question; Is it really just about posturing and hierarchy and "tradition because I had to go through it!", or do behaviors actually get changed by any of this? Like did that guy actually learn any humility and change his behavior?

I mean, in that particular case, no, he didn’t learn shit (he lasted three years), but in some cases guys do change. The real problem is that it’s a pattern of enablement stretching back to a young age - by the time they reach the NFL, usually it’s too late.
