Wolf Sports has been at the forefront of NFL Draft and overall player evaluation over the past several years, particularly with unmatched success identifying franchise quarterbacks and an overall hit rate of 25.94% compared to 18.68% for NFL franchises.
Whether it has been being highest among anyone on all-world signal-callers like Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson or giving early first-round grades to eventual superstars like A.J. Brown and Dexter Lawrence II, the scouting track record speaks for itself.
At the same time, franchises have continually failed at key evaluations—particularly when it comes to the three most important pillars of an organization: general manager, head coach, and quarterback.
Of course, making a “championship” hire is extremely difficult, but the success rate suggests most don’t know where to begin or what they are looking for. Rather than hiring based purely on merit, an ownership group might rely on the recommendation of a well-meaning friend, advisory board, or powerful agent. The process cuts out a large chunk of top-tier candidates in favor of familiarity and political maneuvering.
Wolf Sports Consulting aims to help correct the hiring process. We have had unparalleled successful evaluating quarterbacks because it’s about the film—an area where merit still does reign supreme. We didn’t care that others thought Josh Allen was inaccurate or Lamar Jackson should convert to wide receiver. It didn’t matter that everyone else called Bo Nix a low-ceiling prospect or that Brock Purdy didn’t get a Senior Bowl invite.
Last year, our track record allowed us to informally consult two franchises and multiple agents/agencies with a focus on quarterbacks. You can read more about our history of evaluations at our newly launched site, but two of the primary recommendations were 1) to draft Bo Nix at a time when no one was giving him a favorable outlook, and 2) that future No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward was a first-round caliber prospect for 2025 (compared to another company ranking him outside the top 100).
