NFL teams don’t mess around when it comes to draft preparation.
There are many prospects that staff members watch leading up to the draft, with no stone left unturned to ensure they make the most informed decisions on a prospect possible. This process includes such activities as watching film, attending games, player interviews, and talking with coaches.
Then, of course, there’s the all-star game circuit. When you start off with 90 players to a roster, teams need to search far and wide to find players to sign to compete for a roster spot. The Senior Bowl is a popular event for NFL teams to send scouts to, as is the Shrine Bowl.
