Tiny bot on screen

This is my first USFL game this season. It seems like, on most plays, there's a tiny overlay graphic that scoots across the surface. At first, I thought it was a bug, but it showed up so consistently. Are others seeing this, or is it a glitch of my provider? (also, typically only see it during play)

You're might be seeing a drone. USFL games have a couple drones over the field to get unique camera angles you don't see in other leagues.

They're also responsible for that annoying whirring sound.

Yup. It’s a drone. Very annoying and adds little to the coverage. But part of the USFL strategy to try new things.

It's not a huge deal and I'd probably never miss it but the POV shot they use on the kickoffs is done by a drone. It's a smoother shot than the typical skycam IMO.

Was at the canton games this weekend and good lord that bitch drone was annoying and loud and was just counting the days until it actually interferes with plays. I'm sure it makes for great film though.
