Chargers Daily Links: How to scout draft prospects

The way in which opinions vary so wildly on how to rank draft prospects comes from the varying ways in which people scout them. I began my education in what to look for when I first listened to the Move The Sticks podcast with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks over a decade ago. The dynamic pair of former scouts talked through what they looked for and I tried to spot what they were describing on the first sub five-minute Youtube highlight video I could find on the top guys in the class. It was only after I became a coach that I learned what traits I personally liked to see in a player as I understood how you can teach the techniques associated with those traits.
