Dan Pompei of NationalFootballPost.com reported Sunday that the Ravens have replaced traditional playbooks with iPads this season.

The primary advantage of iPads is security. If an iPad is lost or stolen, or an ex-player takes it with him, the team can remotely erase its contents.

Pompel wrote that this is not the only use for iPads in the NFL. The Falcons use them for pre-draft interviews. The tablets keeps a checklist of questions for each player then compiles them into paragraph form.

Pompel also wrote that with a new video-downloading program coming out for the iPad, the tablets will become even more popular with scouts.
