Professional football scouts are keen-eyed examiners whose charts detail how far a quarterback can throw, how fast a halfback can run the 40-yd. dash, or how many pounds a lineman can bench-press. The pro scouts' assessments of this year's football players were the basis for this year's college All-America team (see SPORT). In their reports, the scouts often single out talented yet unpublicized college players who go on to stardom in the N.F.L.

Another blocker, slap him aside. Block the ball when the quarterback throws it, catch it, and run 99 yards."
