Highlight videos - how helpful?

Isn't one major consideration the level of competition the athlete is playing against a factor. You can get a sense of a football players talent in any highlight video but what appears to be breakaway speed, power running and precision passes to wide open receivers can be deceptive when playing against woefully inferior athletes.

couldn't have said it better myself. I went through this argument yesterday.

Almost all HS athletes are woefully inferior to D1 prospects, so film just shows them doing what they should do, which is dominate.
You can also get a feel for fundamentals and football IQ from film. It is a tool for evaluating prospects, not the end all, be all decision maker for coaches.

I agree that this is obviously just one tool coaches use. I will admit I am more impressed when an athlete dominating while playing in a higher classification, though that doesn't necessarily mean their opponent is high quality.
This is one reason Derrius Guice's highlight video is so impressive. Dominating on virtually every play and yes those are the p,aye that make a highlight video to begin with.

This is true, but tape is great for evaluating form and technique. QB throwing motion, WR route running, DL hand technique....the tape doesn't lie about these things.
