Football Scout

As a football scout, you find talent that can make a team better. You watch players in person and on film, evaluate their skills, athleticism, and mindset, and write reports that help coaches and front offices decide who to recruit or sign. You travel to games and combines, study statistics, and compare prospects against the needs of your team. Much of your work is careful observation and note-taking, followed by conversations with coaches, general managers, and other scouts who weigh your assessments against theirs.
