NFL Scouting Academy?

[NeuroDuck]

Anybody ever heard of this? I was thinking of looking into it but want to do my research first. It's basically an online academy ran my former pro football scouts who teach you how to scout. Hard to find a lot of reviews but from what I can tell it seems legit.

I'm sure the class is legit and teaches what you need to know but it's not going to do much to get you a career.

After looking at the cast of "former" (very key word here) execs, coaches and scouts along with the cost this is nothing more than a way for them to get some extra money out of their poor NFL careers. At $750 it's priced to not turn too many people away from it.

If anyone wants to become a scout this would help but you would still have to get your hands dirty and start at the bottom.

Agreed. I think a lot of it is who you know as well. I wouldn't regret trying and worst case scenario I become a much more educated fan of the game I love.

Yea, basically if your end goal is to become a scout and you can afford $750 it can't hurt.

A week in and everything checks out as legit. I swear they throw more film, readings and work at you then any college class I've taken. I get up at 6 am everyday so I can make time to do the necessary reading and film work.

Any further updates on this? Considering it myself but it's pretty difficult finding any kind of feedback aside from on their website.
