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.
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.
