Historical Scouting Reports
Updated: May 15, 2016This project was started as a way to quantify the film study that my colleagues and I have done over the years. The players evaluated have been retired for at least 25 years and have have come up in discussions for enshrinement in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Players are strictly graded on game film. No outside factors are involved (personality, charity work, etc.)
Players are divided into two categories: One-Way Players and Two-Way Players. This division is based on the type of player they were the bulk of their career.
This is an ever-evolving project. As we progress, reports will be updated and new reports will be added.
