When you are scouting a prospect on tape, who is diverting your attention?
-
Brown ran a 4.47 at the regional combine.

Seems like NFL Network or someone is missing out by not broadcasting at least the highlights of these regionals, if not, a general broadcast.

Indeed. I think it would get a decent amount of viewers.

Couple of TarHeels...
Elijah Hood (RB) 6'0 220 w/ very fast feet. 2018 prospect unless declares early. Very determined runner.
Ryan Switzer (WR) 5'10 185 *cough* undersized, but extremely quick and fast.

Is this happening to you? If so, who?
Always happens to me sooner or later...
I'm breaking down some OL and I keep hearing the announcers mention a name over and over and... Often a name I do not know/never had an interest in. Pretty soon I am fighting to keep my attention on my intended.
Might be another offensive player...
Might be a defender...
Has happened twice so far to me.
The first was a ND WR named Amir Carlisle... 5th year Senior... 5'10 190
Low production... low mileage... seems destined to be an UDFA.
Kid was freaking electric vs. Texas and flashed vs. Clemson and our Buckeyes to boot.
The 2nd was Ole Miss QB, Chad Kelly... Jim Kelly's nephew... 6'2 215 r/Sr.
Other than a couple inches (and a couple of "run-ins" with the law) the kid appears to have a good shot at being a complete QB. Looks a lot like Uncle Jim in his play. DraftScout has him as their early, 2017-Class' #1 QB.

On defense, CAN he do the following:
Show me first step instinct/nose for the ball?
Tackle?
Shed blocks?
Play with leverage/ideal pad height?
Keep his head up?
Demonstrate the scheme at hand - ie; slant, 2 gap, stunt/blitz, etc?
Exemplify position specific skills?
Rise to a challenge or whip a quality prospect's ass?
Overcome adversity?
Give it 100%?
Cause turnovers?
Be a reason play around him is efficient/escalating to another level?
Do the little things that add up?
On offense, CAN he:
Get off the the ball quickly?
Play with leverage?
Demo position specific skills/fundamentals?
Offer chemistry?
Block?
Secure the football?
Catch?
Get separation?
Run nice routes?
Score TDs?
See better than Ronnie Milsap if he's the next bionic armed QB?
Give it his all on every play?
Rise to a challenge?
Get many challenges on tape?
Respond to adversity?
Be a reason play around him is efficient/escalating to another level?
Do the little things that add up (ie; what IF Webster Slaughter decided to throw a block on Jeremiah Castillo or just obstruct him - would there have been anyone to pry the ball out of Byner's hands before the goal line? There's an example of how important playing til the whistle can be.)
Football is such a huge on-going self evaluation process that I've often trained my eyes to look for the negatives. Did I over-extend? Keep a wide-base? Did my stance show a lean to tip off a trap or a pull? Did I let myself get baited into going for a kill shot? Was I getting off the ball to where I was first to contact? Did I make the right call when a LBer stacked behind the defensive linemen? Naturally, I do this with prospects which isn't always easy when sometimes you only get the greatest moments or just 1-2 matchups for some guys.
