If you put him at the top of the depth chart at his position before you went into Superstar mode, he should be a starter. You should now not have to do any drills and will go into the pre-season with the team you put your rookie on. Go back into Superstar mode, choose to play as a rookie, and your created superstar should be there with all the other rookies from the 2008 draft. Then, go into the depth charts in the Features menu, and put him at the top of the depth chart at his position. After you customize his appearance, make his stats 99 overall. It should say at the bottom of the info menu that he is zero years pro. To avoid having to do drills, choose "Create A Player" (above "Create A Team" in the Features menu). If you choose to create a Superstar, you will have to do drills after you create him. This can be done for lots of other players.

You can also change Ladainian Tomlinson's position to linebacker. The same thing works for many other linebackers when changed to defensive end. Change his position to defensive end, and he will be 90 overall. He is a middle linebacker that is 71 overall. Go the Free Agent screen in Franchise mode. You will not be able to get those players if you win the championship because you will move on to the next league. Make sure you have all the desired players from your current league on your team before the last game (championship). Instead of right then left, do left then right, and catch the ball running up the line. The following also works for large gains. The CB should either be far away or behind you, and you will usually catch it for an easy touchdown. Speed burst, run a 45 degree angle to the center of the field, and call for the ball. Off the line, without speed burst, instantly juke right then left. Note: You can also do this with second through seventh draft picks. Trade your first draft pick for their first pick, and they will always accept. Find out which team has the worst record. Start a franchise with the trade deadline off.
