oh yeah, and

an NFL roster is made up of 53 players. Not likely to have more than 4 or 5 rookies in that number at most, and most rookies won't be starters.

Another huge difference and why they can do that is free substitution. They can put them on to get experience and if it starts going pear-shaped, get them back off again.
