"I'm excited to bring in a Scout into our family with the credentials of
Tom Marino," said Scott Kennedy, Director of Online Programming for
Scout.com. "Having been an NFL Scout for close to 30 years, he brings us a
wealth of knowledge, expertise and experience that he will pass on to our
readers."
Marino has been in the War Rooms, and he's excited about bringing his
perspective to Scout.com
"I want to give some perspective to the fans and the readers with some of
the inside information that they normally wouldn't have and can't get anywhere
else," said Marino. "We're going to do a lot of evaluating of players
at their positions, owners, coaches and a lot of other things, trying to give
them an insider's view.
I've been in the draft rooms for the thirty some years making decisions on
players, and I'm hoping I can bring some unique perspectives to our readers at
Scout."
Marino is a member of the Ourlads.com
Scout Hall of Fame with his work as an NFL Scout, and he has an impressive
list of credentials.
