Summary

In this very special episode of the RosterWatch podcast, Alex Dunlap is joined by New Reese's Senior Bowl Executive Director Jim Nagy. During this long-form conversation, Nagy discusses his background as a scout and how it has prepared him for his current position, what scouts look for in players in All-Star settings and lots of general behind-the-curtain insight from someone who has spent a career in football evaluation at the highest levels. The two also go through the 2019 Senior Bowl rosters at the RB and WR positions to give a primer on a very talented group of skill-position players heading to Mobile this year. More on Nagy can be found below.    You can support the RosterWatch podcast - and get access to multiple bonus podcasts per week featuring Alex Dunlap, Byron Lambert, the Trashman and other great guests - with a PRO membership at RosterWatch.com.
