While most NFL area scouts quietly work behind the scenes, you could pass them on the street and not know their face, longtime Pittsburgh Steelers’ scout Mark Gorscak is an exception. Wrapping up his 28-year career with the team, graduating on to whatever comes next, Gorscak is known nationally as the guy who “runs” the 40. Not literally, that’s left to the prospects, but he’s been in charge of coordinating the 40, instructing the players, blowing the whistle if the prospect false starts or stumbles, and occasionally letting someone in the stands know they’re in the way.
With Gorscak no longer directly affiliated with a team, it seemed like he would lose his role conducting the 40.
