An NFL team, as in almost every other organized sport chooses the "starting" players based on talent, and ability shown through practice or other evaluation. Sometimes if a player has violated certain rules and regulations set by the coach, organization, or NFL the player will not be allowed to play in the game. Also, even tho certain members of the team may not be listed as starting, they could gain the opportunity to play later in the game as substitutes, as for an injured player, or for use in a specific situation that would require the skills of such player.
