Highlighting Athleticism with the National Scouting Combine Proprietary Algorithm

I was watching the Eagles game the other day when the color commentator very kindly reminded the millions of fans watching around the world that Jordan Mailata in fact never played football until shortly before his NFL tryout. The former rugby league player from Australia went from a complete football novice to being selected in the NFL Draft in a measly two months. It’s incredible that some athletes can learn in two months what others spend their entire lives working to perfect. It seems like it should be impossible. Yet, some of the greatest football players of all time didn’t pick the game up until quite late in life. Jason Pierre-Paul didn’t play football until his junior year of high school, and Antonio Gates didn’t play a down of college football. Despite missing out on years of valuable experience, both of these players were able to accomplish things us mere mortals can only dream of.

The reason that guys like Jordan Mailata, JPP, and Antonio Gates were able to quickly overtake their peers despite a lack of experience is their athleticism. We’ve all heard the saying “You can’t teach speed.” It’s trite, but it’s true. While you can certainly train to somewhat improve your athleticism, no amount of squats is going to turn a 5.6 forty into a 4.4. We at the National Scouting Combine are firm believers in finding athleticism. You can teach a great athlete the techniques of a sport. But, how do you find a great talent among the thousands of athletes in America?

Many people talk about athleticism as this ephemeral, indefinite concept. Sure, they will acknowledge that its components, such as shuttle time and vertical leap, are real and defined, but they’ll also say things like “X-factor” or “he just has juice”. Well, if you want juice, we can tell you how much he’s bringing. Our proprietary algorithm takes our athletes’ laser timed forty yard dash, three cone drill, and pro agility shuttle times as well as their vertical leap, broad jump, number of reps of 225 on the bench press, biometrics, and TRAZER test results and gives athletes a true athletic grade. These grades, ranging from 0 to 5, represent an objective and accurate representation of athletic potential. A 5 is as good as it gets. This athlete has the athletic ability to compete with the best in the world. The lower the number, the lower the athletic potential.

 

In 2022, wide receiver Keyon Thomas attended the National Scouting Combine. After an impressive performance, our proprietary algorithm graded him at a 4.000. This placed him in the second highest tier of scoring, the excellent tier. Keyon took his scores and used them to secure a spot on the Zappers of the Fan Controlled Football league, where the public was quick to notice his athletic ability. After the performance he put on, his future is certainly bright. In 2016, running back Terron Beckham’s 44 reps of 225 on the bench press helped him score a 4.200. This landed him in the excellent tier, same as Keyon. Terron’s athleticism impressed scouts to the point that he got tryouts with the New York Jets and Indianapolis Colts despite not playing football in college. After his football career, Terron went on to play professional rugby for the Denver Barbarians, and was on track to join the US National team before an injury led to his stepping away from the sport. Now, Terron is pursuing a new goal of becoming a professional wrestler. The last athlete I’ll highlight is cornerback Maurice Leggett. Maurice came to us in 2013 looking to get his football career back on track after injuries cut his NFL career short. The former Kansas City Chief scored a 4.833, the third highest score in combine history. After his dominant performance, Maurice was able to earn a spot on the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. In the CFL, he showed everyone what America missed out on. In his first year he caught five picks. In 2016, he co-lead the league with seven. In 2017, he became just the third defensive player in three decades to score multiple touchdowns in one CFL game. After his career as a player ended, Maurice took up coaching. Today, he is the DC for the AIF’s DC Amarillo Venom. There are dozens of stories like Keyon’s, Terron’s, and Maurice’s of athletes who showed up, showed out, and exceeded all expectations when they were given a shot.

We hope to solve some recruiting problems with our verified test results and algorithm. Firstly, we do not want to tell you what technical skills you want. You know better than us how to break down game film and see who has the skills to fit into your system. We also understand that if you’re not recruiting for an NFL team, or for a Division 1 blue blood like Notre Dame, Alabama, or Ohio State, you don’t have unlimited resources. Our goal is to save you the time and the money of figuring out if these guys have the physical capabilities to compete. It can be difficult to guesstimate speed for guys who do not have laser timed numbers. Sure, he’s faster than the guys he’s playing against, but how fast are they? That offensive lineman might be a Michelin Star winning pancake chef, but who knows about the guys he’s putting in the dirt? And that’s just looking at one aspect of athleticism. Combining it all and getting a clear look at the big picture can be slow, difficult, and expensive.

 

Football scouting is a tough, competitive business. Gaining the slightest edge can make or break a team’s future. We want to narrow down the field for coaches, scouts, and recruiters to save you time and money while delivering you the best prospects that might never have crossed your radar otherwise. Our algorithm has proven itself time and time again by accurately identifying top athletic talent. If you want to find the man who will make your team better, you’ve come to the right place. You never know, you may find the next Antonio Gates, Jason Pierre-Paul, or Jordan Mailata at Grand Park in Westfield, Indiana, competing at the 2024 National Scouting Combine.

“I would like to start this message by thanking you and everyone involved who made this opportunity possible. I am truly grateful for the experience and atmosphere you’ve cultivated through the National Scouting Combine. My journey has not been an easy one by any means. Losing my mother in 2017 to cancer, losing the house my brothers and I called home before attending this very event in 2018, and completely bombing the event left me completely shot mentally. This event that just took place gave me the motivation and hope for better days. That is exactly what has been provided to me. Opportunities I never considered have presented themselves to me with each passing day. WWE contract offers, Rugby offers, and NFL scout inquiries about what kind of man Jarrod Cann is, are just the first of many opportunities that were made real through my participation in your event! Thank you for allowing me to tell my story on such a platform and allowing me to save lives with my story.”

“The National Scouting Combine was a great opportunity for me to get official test numbers and get my information out to teams and scouts to gain necessary exposure. It is always a big challenge for athletes to get official verified numbers but the National Scouting Combine gave me this opportunity. The entire staff works with the players to put them into the best position to succeed. They give players opportunities to promote themselves on and off the field. They have a setup to do all combine tests and to perform official position drills. The event also allows for players to gain useful contacts with teams and National Scouting Combine staff members to further promote themselves. The National Scouting Combine provided me with a chance to showcase my abilities as a free agent and put myself in a good position to have success in my pursuit to play professional football. I want thank the National Scouting Combine staff for giving players this unique chance to demonstrate their skills.”

“I had a great experience at the combine. The whole staff was extremely positive and really wanted the best for all of the players that attended. Being that I was a free agent and a season removed from NFL camps it was crucial for me to get new numbers to show I was still working hard. My only opportunity so far came from a scout who attended the combine. As players that’s why we attend these events, to be seen by the pro levels. I’m very greatful for the opportunity that was came from the combine. I’ll be recommending it to every player possible in the future who’s looking to go pro.”

My experience at the National Scouting Combine was an extremely positive one. Coming from a small school (Bryant University – Division I AA), opportunities to showcase my athleticism and measurables to pro scouts were scarce. However, Jimmy and his team gave me that opportunity when they put together a first-class event, in an outstanding venue and invited hundreds of players that had been overlooked or just wanted the opportunity to showcase their abilities. The connections, advice and coaching I received at the 2018 National Scouting Combine were priceless, as many pro scouts and coaches began to get in contact with me during and immediately after the combine. Jimmy and his team did an outstanding job of incorporating new, cutting edge technologies into the combine, while inviting well-respected coaches, scouts and former professional players to run the drills and provide coaching. Jimmy provided me with a platform to chase my dream of playing professional football that I would not otherwise have had, and in turn is part of the reason why many CFL teams took interest in me, why I was invited to Rookie Minicamps with the Jets and Texans and why I have now signed with the Orlando Apollo’s of the new Alliance of American Football League. The invitation to the 2018 National Scouting Combine was a blessing to me and my career and I would recommend any and all small school or overlooked college football player to attend and take advantage of this combine that, with Jimmy leading it, will continue to get better every single year.

“My testimonial would be because of COVID-19, it has hindered my ability to showcase my talents at pro days, workouts, and tryouts. But, because of the NSC I can still send official numbers and video to each team, while also gaining the opportunity to meet scouts in face and build a relationship with them. Lastly, the NSC is second only to the NFL combine which helps me have something else to hang my hat on as one of the top performers!”

“Thank you for the support and helping with promoting me for the next level. I am most definitely interested and my experience at the national scouting combine was incredible. It was my first official opportunity and it was a professional combine. All verified, legitimate laser times and numbers are vital to have especially in the times we are facing today. All of the coaches and personnel involved were professional in every aspect. It is such a blessing to have the opportunity to be apart of the national scouting combine and I can’t be more grateful to have verified numbers.”

“First and foremost I would like to thank the NSC staff for giving me the opportunity to showcase my skills in front of scouts and allow myself to get relevant combine numbers. This combine is by far the best Combine I have been to. The rooms were great and the food that was provided by NSC was great as well. You can feel that they had a passion for helping those who may not have had an NFL Combine invite and others who are just chasing that opportunity. They were extremely supportive and willing to market the players in every way possible. I was beyond impressed with the testing once we got going. Everything was very organized and professional just as it should be. When it came to the testing they had both hand time and laser time which makes your test times that much more official. The number of scouts that attended the Scouting Combine was even better. This staff truly knows how to put together a legit A+ combine experience and was by far the best combine experience I have been a part of.”

“I was fortunate enough to be a participant in the 2020 BSN Scouting Combine as it was an experience that I will surely never forget. Not only did it open opportunities for me to play football at the professional level, but it also shed light on my path to a football dream as an underdog. Not many athletes get this sort of opportunity and I am just blessed to have been apart of it.”

Pursuing a career in professional football from a small school is a lonely path. A prospect may have the support of his peers, family, and teammates, but the process can be overwhelming and very confusing. Often times small school prospects don’t have access to the resources provided to prospects at football powerhouses. “How can I get myself in front of scouts? How can I prove to them that I can play at the next level?” These are only a few of the many questions that race through a potential prospects mind on a daily basis. The Beyond Sports Network National Combine helped simplify this process for many of the players that attended, including myself. Despite the combine being held for a few days, the information and services provided by the combine, as well as the sense of community between the staff members and prospects stood out to me. Every test that would be performed at the NFL combine was covered, every coach and staff member supported each prospect to an unbelievable extent, and the amount of scouts and agents in attendance and how interactive they were was impressive. The Beyond Sports Network National Scouting Combine was a critical step in attempting to take my talents to the next level. If you are a small school prospect with no clear path to the next level, the National Scouting Combine will certainly clear up the path for you.

BSN gave me the platform I needed to be respected as a athlete. I came to there first Combine in 2010. I was pulled by every NFL, CFL scout. At that time there were a couple really good WRs including a SEC top WR who NFL scouts were coming to see. Once I put up good #s in my Testing Drills, we did one on ones. I showed my great covering skills to the point all the scouts herd the WRs talking and asking who was this guy. Then BSN promoted me and my numbers and I received workouts on all levels. I became a name in the business. Having legit numbers and respectable organization backing you is what you need. Everyone can say they can play and perform but coaches and scouts don’t believe you. BSN gives you the stage to perform and prove them wrong and get the opportunity you deserve. Because of BSN I was able to create a long professional career and when needed comeback to prove I could still play at a high level.
