Here’s Why You Should Attend Our Combine Events

The 2026 NFL Combine is next week. If you read this blog regularly, you know I encourage you to take chances if you want to work in football. Well, if you aren’t going to Indianapolis next week, and you want to be a scout, coach or agent, you’re making a mistake if you don’t go.

Why? Think about this.

If you want to accomplish your goals, you must seize opportunities. I know that travel, hotels, food, etc., cost money. But there’s more than just a financial risk you’re taking if you don’t go — there’s also an opportunity risk. You don’t know who you’ll meet if you go. But you know that if you don’t go, you definitely won’t meet anyone.

It’s a people business. To succeed in this business, you must be a hard worker, of course. However, if you don’t get the chance to work for anyone, it doesn’t matter. Every NFL head coach has been on a bad team at some point, but he got another opportunity in the game because of the people he’s worked with before. If you don’t know many people in the game, there’s only one way to change that.

The Combine offers the best chance to meet people. As we’ve discussed before in this space, we’re seeing a change in philosophy by NFL teams toward all-star games. At the same time, access at the biggest game of them all (the Senior Bowl) has been reduced significantly. It’s true that there are fewer NFL people that go to Indianapolis than there used to be, but there will still be droves of scouts, coaches, league officials, agents, trainers and others who could be really helpful in getting your big break.

We provide two shots at improving your chances. I’m sorry if this comes across as bragging, but I’d argue that the Combine is a better place to network than ever because of our seminar (Wednesday night) and symposium (Friday morning). For $100 (or for no money if you already work for an FBS team), you can associate with literally hundreds of NFL scouts (Wednesday) and NCAA personnel (Friday) in a relaxed, collegial atmosphere. All the details for the weekend are in last week’s Friday Wrap.

Still not sold? Read today’s Friday Wrap (register here), in which we’ll discuss the panelists, review topics, answer frequent questions, list the awards, and provide other details that may make it sexy enough for you to be at one or both of them. Remember:

  • 2026 Ellison Kibler at Merrill Lynch ITL Seminar: Weds, Feb. 25, 530 pm. Room 205, Indiana Convention Center. No cost, no registration.
  • 2026 Dropback ITL Symposium: Friday, Feb. 27, 830 am. Room 205, Indiana Convention Center. Register here. Free to FBS personnel; all others $100.

Hope to see you there.

Work in Football? First Combine? Here Are a Few Tips

10 Tuesday Feb 2026

I always kinda thought people who work in college personnel offices knew the drill when it comes to the NFL Combine, but I recently came to the understanding that they don’t, given how busy their jobs are. I’ve previously written about how to approach the NFL Combine if you’re a job-seeker, but let’s say you work as a personnel director at a P4 school. When should you get to Indy? When should you leave? Here are a few thoughts.

First, know the deadline for getting credentialed: It’s Saturday. You’re going to want to apply before then if you want access to Lucas Oil Stadium. This page has all the details. This is where you actually apply.

But before you apply: You need to know which (if any) of the players at your school are invited and when they’ll be working out. If you haven’t already heard from the players at your school, sometime this week, the NFL will publish the entire list of 350-odd players. Obviously, they don’t all work out on the same day. Click here to find out when they will test. Obviously, this will determine when you need to be there to offer support.

What if your school doesn’t have any combine invitees?: I recommend one of two schedules. At the very least, come in Thursday night so you can attend our symposium Friday morning. We’re hopeful that there will be 50 P4 schools represented, most by their GMs. We’re also going to have a who’s who of top NIL agents there. It’s going to be big. Here’s a more detailed rundown of what to expect. Best of all, if you’re a member of an FBS college personnel staff, you don’t have to pay. You only have to register, which you can do here.

So you arrive Thursday. When should you leave?: Here’s what I recommend. Indianapolis will be filled to the brim with NFL and college football types Friday night. Hit the town. I’d recommend grabbing a meal downtown, then hitting High Velocity, the bar at the JW Marriott, that evening. It will be jam-packed with NFL scouts and executives, agents, wealth managers, and others in the industry of every stripe. It’s a great chance to renew acquaintances or make new ones. Come to think of it, it’s probably not a bad idea to hit High Velocity Thursday night as well.

What if you have more time?: I strongly recommend you come in Wednesday afternoon and join us at our seminar. It’s the Academy Awards of the scouting business, and it’s free (you don’t even have to register). It starts at 5:30 p.m. and will go about an hour. We’ll have 150-200 scouts there and it’s a lot of fun. We’ll hand out more than 30 awards and there’s a celebratory atmosphere that you don’t always find in football. I hope you can join us. More details are here.

Six Points: A Few More Tips and Ideas for Getting a Job This Time of Year

06 Friday Feb 2026

Posted by in Getting started, NFL draft, NIL, Scouts

≈ Leave a comment

This time of year I get a lot of people reaching out to ask about tips on getting a job in scouting, college or pro. Here are a few more things to think about and/or ideas for you.

Update your LinkedIn: I used to dismiss people who serially updated their LinkedIn page, but I have to admit it’s nice to have someone’s complete employment history readily available. I know some people really overdo it, but if you use it judiciously it can be a really positive tool. I know it’s been easy to advise people when they ask for counsel on finding a job when I can review their LinkedIn pages first. By the way, if you really want to go the extra mile, set up a Linktree.

Go to the Combine: I know it’s intimidating, and can be costly, but you can figure it out. The Senior Bowl is no longer the best place to network. Indy isn’t easy — there are a few events you can attend, including ours — but mostly you’re going to need to be in the right place at the right time, eager to seize an opportunity. It’s a risk you have to take.

Seek out volunteer opportunities in Indy: It’s too late to land something with an NFL team or with combine organizers, but there are enough things going on that a helping hand might be needed. Think outside the box. There’s no better way to make a connection than to be a good worker. If you can’t find a football organization, maybe reach out to an agency that you know has players at workouts.

Renew all your key acquaintances: It’s not easy to stay in contact with everyone in your neighborhood 24-7, and if you’re not carefully, you can come across as inauthentic. Still, you should be able to think of a reason to reach out to everyone who could be pivotal, job-wise, over the next 60-90 days. For example, you could ask when they get in to Indianapolis. Or wish them a happy President’s Day, I guess. If they show up on a podcast, make sure you compliment them — genuinely — and make it clear with context that you actually listened. Obviously, a job change (especially a promotion) gives you an automatic opportunity, as well. The key is to remind them, subtly, that you’re around.

Don’t forget about business cards: I know they’re passe’ but the fact is, they’re cheap and they fit easily into someone’s wallet. You don’t have to walk around with a wad of cards in your hand. Just have them ready if the need arises.

Remember that information is key: You need to know something that potential employers don’t. I do not think you should carry around your latest mock draft. But I do think you need to be ready with information on the upcoming players on your current team, or inside information on what jobs might be available on your own team, or anything else. If you don’t have anything, don’t fake it. But there’s no better way to prove your future value to a potential employer than by having something you can offer now.

One more thing — make sure to know where recent scouting hires have come from, which teams you should be focusing on and, well, read this, too. Good luck.

Are We Entering the Post-All-Star Era?

30 Friday Jan 2026

Posted by in All Star Games, NFL draft

≈ Leave a comment

Wednesday night, I drove home from the Senior Bowl. It’s about seven-and-a-half hours on the road alone, which gives you a lot of time to think. One of the things I considered was the plight of the modern college all-star game, especially the Big Two, the East-West Shrine Bowl and the Senior Bowl.

Unlike the other all-star games, these two have the distinction of attracting Day 1 and Day 2 draft prospects. The big question is, how much longer can we expect top-100 players to even take part in all-star games? Consider:

  • The national championship game featured two players who will be top-five picks (Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza and Miami’s Rueben Bain) along with three other players who might be Day 1 picks (Miami’s Francis Mauigoa and Akheem Mesidor in addition to Indiana’s Carter Smith). As you may know, the Hoosiers and Hurricanes each played 16 games. Sixteen! That’s almost a full NFL season. At some point, players need to take a break. What’s more, the teams that made it to the semis played 15 and the ones who got to the quarters played 14. That’s a lot of football for a lot of talented players who might say enough is enough.
  • The national championship game next year will be Jan. 25, 2027. For comparison, the Shrine Bowl was played on Jan. 27 this year and the Senior Bowl will be played Jan. 31. That pretty much takes the players from the top two teams out of consideration for the top two games.
  • As recently as 10 years ago, you’d see most NFL head coaches and GMs at the major all-star games. For a number of reasons, that’s just not the case anymore.
  • It’s a really popular take to call the NFL Combine the “underwear Olympics,” but the fact is that pro days and workouts matter. The best prospects in the draft can’t risk running or jumping poorly. That week spent playing another game may be better spent focusing on the 40.
  • In 2016, North Dakota State QB Carson Wentz used the Senior Bowl to vault into the conversation for the top pick, as I detail in my latest book. Almost a decade later, it’s probably true that another member of the Bison, OG Grey Zabel, went from a late Day 2 prospect to a first-rounder based on his play in Mobile. However, in the era of the transfer portal, the number of sub-FBS players in the top 100 is limited.
  • There’s one more critical reason that no one wants to talk about: more and more, what we call “college football” is really pro football. When the better players are making more than a million dollars per season, it’s hard to convince them to prove themselves (for no pay) in an all-star format. It’s human nature.

I think the lower-tier all-star games can still make a convincing argument to players. More often than not, they’re attracting prospects who are just fighting to make sure they play in the NFL. The problem there is that those names don’t sell tickets or create ratings, which makes it hard to recoup the investment (stadium rental, flights, hotels, jerseys) that is necessary.

This is why we might be entering the post-all-star game era. It’s been such a successful model for so long, and frankly, covering the ins and outs of the invitation process, the people running the games, and the games themselves have been a big part of ITL for more than two decades. For this and many other reasons, I hope I’m wrong, but I fear I’m not.

2026 NFL Agent Exam: The Cost and the Risk

23 Friday Jan 2026

Posted by in Agent Exam

≈ Leave a comment

Today, I found out that an ACC running back was added to the East-West Shrine Bowl roster and it almost made me laugh out loud. Here’s why.

In September, we started pitching members of the 2025 NFL agent class on the idea of working with veteran contract advisors as mentors during the 2026 draft cycle. The pitch was easy: pitch in a significant part of training fees, and in return, you’d not only be placed on the player’s SRA, but you’d also be counseled through the all-star process, on pro day, and most importantly, on Day 3 of the draft. It was a chance for the kind of growth and professional enhancement that almost no independent rookie agents ever get to experience. It looked like a win all around, and the initial response from new agents was impressive. Again, this was in September. We had about 30 who expressed interest.

By October/November, when I asked again, we were down to about 20-25.

By the time we got to December, and the time to actually write the check, the number had fallen even more. We actually wound up with less than half the original number who actually proceeded with the program. The reason I laughed is because the running back I mentioned earlier was presented as a potential fit with 2-3 agents who all passed on him for various reasons. Too risky. Well, that guy is in the No. 2 all-star game and is almost a lock for an NFL roster this summer.

The lesson here is that risk is part of the job. If it’s January, and you haven’t spent more money than you’re comfortable spending on a player who you feel confident will make an NFL roster — but who you are far from certain will make it in the league — than you’re probably not really an agent. That risk, that uncertainty, are just part of the game. That feeling in the pit of your stomach is what tells you you’re actually in the game. If you don’t feel it, it’s either because you have so little money and/or time invested that you have nothing to lose, or it’s because you don’t have a good enough handle on the business to know the odds you face.

You may be considering registering for the agent exam this summer. You may have already done it. Either way, please accept this unsolicited advice: you’re going to have to make a significant financial investment (probably $15,000 minimum), and you’re going to have to take a risk on a player who’s anything but a sure bet. That’s just part of the game. I take no joy in telling you this, but I still think it bears saying.

Best of luck, and I hope we get to work together. But whether we do or not, investment and risk will be part of your experience. Make sure that’s something you’ve accepted, and that you can handle.

Getting to Know New Dolphins GM Jon-Eric Sullivan

16 Friday Jan 2026

Posted by in NFL draft, Scouts

≈ Leave a comment

A year ago, we had a good time talking to people about new GM hires such as Mike Borgonzi (Titans), John Spytek (Raiders) and Darren Mougey (Jets). The newest GM of this cycle is Jon-Eric Sullivan, who’s taking over in Miami as the successor to Chris Grier.

Jon-Eric is an interesting guy. He’s got a strong pedigree as the son of an NFL lifer (longtime receivers coach Jerry Sullivan), as well as a very strong, very stable foundation in player evaluation after rising through the Packers front office over two decades. He’s also been honored by his peers twice (2022, 2025) as a winner of a BART List Award for scouting excellence. However, I’ve never worked with him, so I reached out to several people who have. Here’s what they told me — off the record so they could be completely candid.

  • “First of all, he’s a football junkie. . . with his dad being . . . arguably one of the best receivers coaches in the history of NFL, you know, and the things that he learned from being around him, he just simply knows football. He is a grinder. He works his ass off . . . not only from a football standpoint, but he takes care of himself (as a) healthy, fitness-oriented type of person. . . He’s a great family guy with a beautiful family . . . fun to be around. Good energy to be around.”
  • “Incredible eye for talent, sees the big picture. Outstanding at fostering and maintaining relationships. Most importantly he LOVES football and is passionate. Does a great job listening while still having his own convictions!”
  • “He is a true football guy through and through . . . from coach’s son, to player, to scout. The guy knows players and he knows ball. If given the time and proper supporting staff he will be one of the best GMs in the NFL no question! Honestly, this is long overdue!”
  • “Love Jon-Eric Sullivan. Great guy. Smart. Good evaluator. Raised the right way in this business.”
  • “Obviously, great human being and evaluator, but he’s well-equipped on the salary cap side as well. Green Bay does a good job training their guys in that regard. Not an indictment or anything negative about Miami’s roster, but there was an emphasis on building the culture in addition to the talent pool in Green Bay, and I’m sure he will take that with him. I’m excited to see how he builds the roster and who he hires as head coach.”
  • “Good man who knows how to lead. How he makes up his staff will tell you more than you think.”

2026 NFL Agent Exam: A Few First Thoughts

09 Friday Jan 2026

Posted by in Agent Exam, Agents, Getting started

≈ Leave a comment

In the last few days, we’ve been contacted by several people who’ve registered to take this summer’s agent exam. I tweeted about it earlier today, but sometimes a tweet just isn’t enough. Here are a few more thoughts about achieving your dreams if you aspire to represent pro football players.

Our program starts in February: As always, we’ll have monthly Zoom sessions as we systematically cover each segment of the CBA. I’d argue that no one knows the CBA better than our instructor, Chicago-based Ian Greengross. Ian has led our program for several years now and dozens of successful test-takers got good results because of Ian.

Actually, we don’t really have a program: There are services out there charging close to $2,000 for bunch of classes. If you take all our classes, i.e., our Zoom sessions, which cover the CBA comprehensively, you spend $250. Stick around for our final review and our stress test, and you’re still under $400. We even tell you in advance what topics we cover in each session, so if you already have a handle on the topics in one session, keep your money. You’re not obligated to attend. Again, no obligations.

We have a special deal for you if this is your second try: Our partners at Stratic, Shane Costa and Christian Kranz of Generation Sports Group, offer a sensational alternative program, especially if you only have one last shot. It’s a little more intensive and a little more directed. It’s a bit more of a financial commitment, but it’s worth it. Especially if it’s fourth down, figuratively speaking, but even if you’ve never taken the exam before. Contact us and we’ll get you all the details. You won’t be sorry if you choose this option.

We’re improving our popular practice exams: We’re working on converting our two practice exams, maybe our most popular pre-exam feature, into one exam that changes questions each time you take it. It will be like taking a new practice exam every time. Our goal was to get this done last year, but we got a late start. We hope to have this completed at least by May, well before the final push.

You don’t have to wait until February to order our study guide: Our first Zoom session is about six weeks off and we won’t update our practice exams for a few months. However, if you’re registered now and eager to get going on things, you can order our study guide today. It’s pricey ($400 plus tax) but probably worth double that. In fact, if you only get one thing in preparation for the exam, get our study guide. It’s a 70-page PDF. Order it and we’ll have it in your inbox within an hour.

We will work with half-to-two thirds of the rising agent class, but if you’re one of our people, you’ll find we’re devoted to helping you pass. I hope we can work together. Let’s make it happen. If you have more questions, make sure to contact us at @Insidetheleague. DMs are always open.

Best Draft Award 2025: Struggling to Define the Finalists

02 Friday Jan 2026

Posted by in NFL draft, Scouts

≈ Leave a comment

With the end of the NFL regular season at hand, we’ll start voting on the Best Draft Award next weekend. That means that the next Friday Wrap will list the five finalists. We’ll also send out ballots to NFL scouts so we can begin voting. The problem this year is picking the five finalists.

I’ve read in some places that the 2025 draft class didn’t yield the normal crop of talent, but I disagree sharply. Look at all the teams, listed alphabetically, who got big-time contributions from their rookies.

Bears: If you think a turnaround on the field is the biggest consideration when choosing the best draft class, Chicago — which was 5-12 last year and won the division this year — is probably your choice. Their title probably doesn’t happen without the contributions of first-round TE Colston Loveland, second-round WO Luther Burden and seventh-round OH Kyle Monangai.

Browns: If you believe sheer volume of contributing players defines draft excellence, you gotta go with Cleveland. From first-round DT Mason Graham on down, you could argue that the team got at least some output from seven players: IB Carson Schwesinger, OH Quinshon Judkins, TE Harold Fannin, OH Dylan Sampson and QBs Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders. They even got good play from a UDFA, DT Adin Huntington. It wasn’t a great season for the Browns, but they are set up with an excellent foundation for the future.

Bucs: Tampa Bay already won a Best Draft Award for the team’s work in 2020, but maybe they need to clear the trophy case again. In fact, if WO Emeka Egbuka had finished the season the way he started it, they might even be the favorite. Not only did they hit on Egbuka, but they also struck gold on Day 2 with a nickel corner (Jacob Parrish) and on Day 3 with a defensive tackle (Elijah Roberts). There’s a lot to be said for a defending division winner that finds three major contributors in one draft.

Cardinals: Like the Browns, it wasn’t a great season for the Cardinals, but they had a lot of depth in their draft class. Like the Bucs, if first-round DT Walter Nolen was healthy all season, the Cards would have an even stronger case. As it is, the team seems to have reinvigorated itself at cornerback (Will Johnson and Denzel Burke) and defensive end (Jordan Burch).

Chargers: Once again, this is a good team that still got big-time reps from rookies. The record is almost unchanged — last year, the team’s record was 11-6, and they’re 11-5 entering the finale with the Broncos — but you have to like LA’s future after first-round OH Omarion Hampton made an impact along with third-round DT Jamaree Caldwell and two Day3 picks, TE Oronde Gadsden II and FS RJ Mickens.

Falcons: It’s not the depth of the class as much as the value they got at key positions. Nailing the picks on two first-round pass rushers — OB Jalon Walker and DE James Pearce — counts for a lot. Throw in third-round FS Xavier Watts, who has five picks, and you’ve got a really good draft class.

Giants: If the vote were held at midseason — before OH Cam Skattebo (4/105) went down, and while QB Jaxson Dart was making plays with his feet and his arm — the Giants would probably have won. Throw in DE Abdul Carter and the Giants got the most out of their two first-rounders plus a rock-solid running back on Day 3. That’s impressive. People take for granted that Day 1 picks are going to step right in and start, but that’s certainly not the case.

Panthers: Carolina was 5-12 last season, but plays for the division title Sunday. That’s a massive turnaround, and it doesn’t happen without first-round WO Tetairoa McMillan, along with a second round DE (Nic Scourton) and two Day 3 hits (FS Lathan Ransom and TE Mitchell Evans). A month ago, ESPN called the Panthers’ draft class the best.

Saints: New Orleans is also a repeat winner (the Saints won it in 2017 for the Lattimore/Kamara/Hendrickson, etc., class) and might have a shot at being the first ever to repeat. Second-round QB Tyler Shough may win the OROY, and he’s deservedly gotten the headlines, but New Orleans also smashed it with first-round left tackle Kelvin Banks and three Day 3 picks (FS Jonas Sanker, IB Danny Stutsman and DC Quincy Riley). Even sixth-round OH Devin Neal looked good before a season-ending injury.

Titans: Bet you don’t know who holds the NFL rookie record for most all-purpose yards in a single season (2,371 yards). It’s Titans fourth-round WO/KR Chimere Dike, who beat Tim Brown’s 1988 mark. Oh, by the way, the team also took a QB who’s looked better every game over the second half of the season in Cam Ward, and Day 3 DC Marcus Harris has also won praise.

Here’s Where NFL Scouting Hires Have Come From (Since 2023)

26 Friday Dec 2025

Posted by in Getting started, Scouts

≈ Leave a comment

Over the past few weeks in this space, we’ve been focused on helping aspiring NFL scouts improve their chances over the next few months. In mid-December, we had a few general tips on the job search. Last week, we told you what to look for in a team with openings.

This week, let’s take a look at where the “entry-level” hires in the league came from over the last three years. We’ll count “player personnel assistants” and “scouting assistants” as entry-level positions. Here goes.

2025 (32 hires)

  • Sixteen came directly from college scouting positions. Of the 12, just three were non-P4, and just two were sub-FBS.
  • Eight were working in some capacity with NFL teams already, with seven of the eight getting promoted and staying with the same team.
  • Two moved up from non-NFL coaching positions, one high school and one small-college.
  • Two were with BLESTO.
  • One was technically not in football (though he worked at ESPN).
  • We couldn’t find any background info on three of the hires, which probably means they were employed in jobs outside of football.

2024 (49 hires)

  • Twenty were hired from college teams. Of the 20, 13 were from P4 schools, while five were from G5. Just two were sub-FBS.
  • Fourteen were promoted from an intern-level position; just one wasn’t promoted by the team he was already working for.
  • Three came from quasi-football organizations (Haslam Sports Group, 49ers Investments, and Stanford’s collective).
  • Two came from the Senior Bowl.
  • One didn’t work in football.
  • We couldn’t find any background on nine of the hires.

2023 (17 hires)

  • Nine came from schools. Six were P4, one was G5, two were sub-FBS.
  • Four were promoted from within; all of them were promoted by the teams they already worked with.
  • One was promoted from the Senior Bowl.
  • We could find no info on three of them.

So here are our observations.

  • If you are already working in a college personnel department, you have the inside track. If you’re at a P4 school, so much the better.
  • The best non-school “feeder programs” are BLESTO (not NFS, for some reason) and the Senior Bowl. If you’re really intent on working as an NFL scout, maybe Step 1 is landing a job with one of these organizations.
  • About a fourth of the new scouting assistants hired every year moved up from other positions with the team, but you already knew that working for an NFL team gives you a big advantage.
  • If you’re not already working in football, you’d better have an angle. For example, one of the hires from “private business” is the son of an NFL front office employee.

Good luck! For more on the industry, check out our newsletter, the Friday Wrap. Register for it here.

Ready to Get a Job in NFL Scouting? Here Are a Few Tips

19 Friday Dec 2025

Posted by in NFL draft, Scouts

≈ Leave a comment

Looking to be an NFL scout? Is this the year you want to make a big splash? Now’s the time to start getting your name out there.

Here are a few teams on which you should focus your efforts (or avoid altogether).

Teams with second-year GMs: Very often, GMs are forced to keep scouts (who are usually on two-year deals) for a year that they would rather replace with scouts who know their respective systems. Among second-year GMs are the Jaguars, Titans, Raiders and Jets.

Teams with shaky GMs: Obviously, teams that might be cleaning slate are likely to have more openings. Here are four possibilities, but there are always surprises, as well. Be ready.

Teams with second-year Scouting Assistants (also called Player Personnel Assistants): Like scouts, most scouting assistants get two years before a team decides to promote or terminate them. Teams that fit this description — there are a lot of them (19) — are the 49ers (2), Bears (3), Browns (4), Cardinals (1), Chiefs (1), Colts (1), Cowboys (1), Jaguars (3), Jets (1), Lions (2), Panthers (3), Patriots (1), Raiders (2), Ravens (1), Commanders (3), Saints (3), Steelers (2), Texans (1) and Vikings (2).

Some teams don’t carry Scouting Assistants at all: No use applying with them. Teams that don’t list scouting assistants or scouting interns are the Bengals, Broncos, Chargers, Dolphins, Eagles and Falcons.

Teams that have had Scouting Assistants in the past, but no longer: The Packers and Eagles don’t currently have any listed on the team website, but last year, they had two each. The Rams had two Scouting Apprentices in 2024 who have each been elevated to full-time positions; they currently have none listed on the team website.

Teams with Area Scouts who’ve been in the league for 10+ years: The simple fact is that modern NFL teams don’t want veteran evaluators running the roads (as counterintuitive as that sounds). They’re too expensive. Instead, they want to be young when it comes to their area/college scouts. The only way to determine which teams have such scouts is by studying all the teams. Start with our Know Your Scouts feature, which breaks down the complete evaluation staff for all 32 teams.

Really want to be aggressive? Visit the more established all-star games. You’ll see scouts at a lot of all-star games, but the only place you’re consistently going to see director-level scouts (i.e., decision-makers) is at the top two games, the East-West Shrine Bowl and Senior Bowl. You might get lucky at the other games, but the Big Two are really where you could meet someone who might be in a position to help you.

Best of luck. See you out on the trail.
