Right of passage

COMMENT FOUND ONLINE: I just found a comment online that talked about a "right of passage." Normally, it's a "rite of passage."

FOUND ONLINE: So Gase wants to get the rookies as caught up as possible up mentally as quickly as possible so when they get on the field, there is less hesitation and they play faster.

Maybe it's just me, but that seems like two much being caught up.
