During the NFL draft process each NFL team has regional scouts who travel the country year-round in hopes of finding that diamond in the rough. Then when the off-season comes around, the general manager will re-evaluate their scouting departments research, formulate their assignments, and then cross-check their findings when the NFL combine and pro days roll around.

Often times, the general manager, director of college scouting, and other higher-ups, will travel to a game in order to evaluate certain prospects during the course of the season to better gauge a potential prospect.
