Film-Based Scouting Rooted in Meticulous Process Since 2006

A Seat in Matt Waldman’s Film Room

Published every April 1, The Rookie Scouting Portfolio is a film-driven evaluation process rooted in meticulous, data-heavy analysis of football prospects that strips away the hype, going deep on the football details that get overlooked.

Matt’s work has a deeply intuitive, cinematic feel for seeing a player’s ultimate ceiling, but it’s grounded in defined methodologies that verify whether the narratives match the reality.

What Is the RSP?

The Most Comprehensive Analysis of Offensive Skill Positions Available to the Public

There is no cutting of corners with the RSP. A massive 1,000-plus pages every year, Matt’s framework that he built in 2005 has gradually evolved for over two decades and goes far deeper than jargon and scout-speak. In addition to in-depth rankings, tiers, and post-draft analysis, the RSP meticulously lays out its scouting process to the reader with narrative-style reports and defined evaluation criteria for positional techniques, concepts, and athletic expectations. At a price most say should be much higher, the RSP has been pleasantly shocking readers since 2006.
