Matt Miller's 10 Rules for Player Evaluation
-
A lot of great football players are crappy people. A lot of crappy football players are good people.
-
What a college coach or scheme asked the player to do isn't always all that he can do.
-
Production must be the result of traits—not a result of scheme or competition.
-
Russell Wilson is the exception, not the rule.
-
Three games are a minimum before any report can be filed. Don't cheat it.
-
Fall reports are meant to be updated. Don't hold yourself to early season grades. Change is OK.
-
Football character and personal character are different, but both can't be bad.
-
Look for what a player can do, not what a player can't do.
-
The Teddy Bridgewater Rule: Trust the film, not workouts
-
When you're wrong, and you will be, admit it and learn from it. Self-study is crucial.
