Coach Zauner’s Evaluation Criteria Consists of Three Categories:
The three groups that are in my evaluation: Group (1A) Specialists that I feel currently have NFLpotential, (1B) specialists that have potential but maybe had a bad day, Group (2) specialists: with more practice, strenght training and better technique could have NFL potential in the future and Group (3) specialists that would have a difficult time making an NFLor CFL training camp.
Upon finalizing the results of the Combine, Coach Zauner will contact Each specialists by phone to inform them what Group or Category that best respresents their potential and why.
