The Inaugural Pro Liaison of the Year Award

There is an extraordinary amount of additional work that a college coach takes on when accepting the role of pro liason. The pro liason serves as a conduit for college prospects with pro football ambitions and are the lifeline for NFL scouts to obtain pertinent information when compiling a player evaluation. Congratulations to Matt Godwin from the national champion University of Georgia Bulldogs for being named the first-ever Pro Liason of the Year Award.

The 2^nd Annual ITL Bart List Awards [Pro Tier | College Tier]

Last year, for the first time ever, Inside the League surveyed NFL scouts to determine which 10 college scouts were the best in each conference. The 10 evaluators who received the most votes were named to the inaugural BART List, named after former Rams scout Danton Barto.

This year, ITL expanded the vote to honor college evaluators in two categories, executive and scout, as well as a new pro scouting category. The vote resulted in 27 members of personnel departments earning selection to this special list. The following individuals have been named honorees of the 2^nd Annual BART List Awards.

Note: All NFL scouts who have been active in the league for at least five of the last six seasons were eligible to vote.
