Think about how many players there are in college football and they watch every snap.


You mean like high school scouts?

HS "scouts" are journalists for the most part and it's a business with caveats built in and publicly known. PFF pawns itself off as the leader in collegiate and professional scouting and expect their determinations to be the standard in which all are compared. Huge difference and none of them are watching all the snaps they lead you to believe they are. Even if they are they still don't relay the caveat that they don't really know what the assignment was just an educated guess based on tendencies and what others on the play were doing. It's a useful tool like much of analytics but also with much of analytics, it lacks context and instead is an orgy of formulated numbers that are expected to be taken as "evidence" a player is good, bad or average.

No, the high school "scouts" don't claim to watch every snap of every game. That's a huge difference, but you already knew that.
