Ourlads' Scout Hall of Fame

Ourlads' Scouting Services wants to recognize and honor NFL Draft personnel scouts by entering them in the Scouts' Hall of Fame. Over their careers these men played the game, coached, and recruited. They were responsible for all the schools in their area. They evaluated, interviewed, tested, and cross-checked NFL prospects for the draft. They participated in draft meetings in the fall and in the spring. They were talent evaluators, not just information gatherers. They carried Kodak analyst projectors before tapes became popular. Their appearance and demeanor was a direct reflection on their team and they were professional in every way. These men knew it was a privilege to be invited on campus and respected that opportunity. All members had/have at least fifteen years in the league - most over twenty years.

Their names were submitted by a committee to Ourlads' General Manager, Dan Shonka. Shonka scouted with several of the honorees. Additions and profiles will be ongoing.
