Matt Miller's 10 Rules for Player Evaluation

  1. A lot of great football players are crappy people. A lot of crappy football players are good people.

  2. What a college coach or scheme asked the player to do isn't always all that he can do.

  3. Production must be the result of traits—not a result of scheme or competition.

  4. Russell Wilson is the exception, not the rule.

  5. Three games are a minimum before any report can be filed. Don't cheat it.

  6. Fall reports are meant to be updated. Don't hold yourself to early season grades. Change is OK.

  7. Football character and personal character are different, but both can't be bad.

  8. Look for what a player can do, not what a player can't do.

  9. The Teddy Bridgewater Rule: Trust the film, not workouts

  10. When you're wrong, and you will be, admit it and learn from it. Self-study is crucial.
