Well, let me tell you, you wanna know how much them NFL scout fellas make, huh? It ain’t as simple as you might think, no sir. It’s like askin’ how much a cow’s worth, depends on the cow, don’t it? Same goes for them scouts.
I heard some folks talkin’ ’bout it the other day down at the feed store. They was sayin’ some of them young’uns, just startin’ out, ain’t makin’ much more than a chicken farmer. Maybe 20,000, 45,000 dollars a year. Enough to keep the lights on, I reckon, but not enough to buy a new tractor, that’s for sure.
- Some fellas just startin’ out, they call ’em entry-level scouts.
- They might make ’round 20,000, 45,000, maybe up to 95,000 dollars a year if they’re real lucky.
- That ain’t a whole lot of money when you think ’bout all that travelin’ they gotta do.
Now, them older scouts, the ones who been ’round the block a few times, they make a bit more. They’re like them prize-winnin’ bulls, worth more ’cause they know what they’re doin’. I heard they can make anywheres from, 95,000 to 275,000 dollars a year. That’s a good chunk of change, enough to buy a whole herd of cattle!
But you gotta figure, them scouts, they’re always on the road, lookin’ at them football players. Gotta go to all them games, watch ’em practice, talk to their coaches. It ain’t an easy job, always bein’ away from home. It’s like a rooster always lookin for the good place to peck around.
And some say, if you’re a scout for long enough, like ten years or more, you better be makin’ at least 125,000 dollars a year. If you ain’t, somethin’ ain’t right. You need to be bringin’ home the bacon if you’re gonna be a top-notch scout, that’s what I always say. Some of them can get at least 80,000 a year.
I even heard tell of some scouts, they work for them big-shot teams, they make even more than that! But that’s like findin’ a four-leaf clover, ain’t many of ’em around.
- Mid-level scouts, them’s the ones with a few years under their belt.
- They can rake in 95,000 to 275,000 dollars a year.
- That’s enough to make a fella feel pretty good, I reckon.
Now, I also heard some people talk about them different places in the world, sayin’ scouts make different money there. They was talkin’ ’bout a place called, uh, United Kingdom. Said a scout there makes somethin’ like 23,007 of them pounds a year. Don’t know what a pound is worth, but it sounds like a lot, don’t it?
Then they was talkin’ ’bout another place, sounds like India. Said a scout there, a “Talent Scout” they called it, makes somethin’ like 570,000 rupees a year. Now, I ain’t never heard of a rupee, but if it’s anything like a dollar, that’s a whole heap of money! Average is about 5,50 rupees.
They got some fancy folks called the, uh, Bureau of Labor Statistics. They say the average for a scout is around 40,000 dollars a year, but it can be anywhere from 20,140 to 70,050 dollars. Sounds like a big difference to me. It’s like the price of corn, it goes up and down depending on the weather.
So, how much do them NFL scouts make? Well, it depends on who you ask and who they’re scoutin’ for. It’s all about how good they are at their jobs, I suppose, and who they’re working for. Some get paid more than others, just like some get paid more than other. Hourly pay for a Nfl Scout in the United States is $13.40 an hour. It is like the price of the corn, it depends on the year.
But one thing’s for sure, it ain’t an easy job. Lots of travel, lots of lookin’ at players, lots of tryin’ to figure out who’s gonna be good and who ain’t. But if a fella can do it well, he can make a pretty good livin’, that’s for sure. Just gotta be willin’ to put in the work, same as anythin’ else in life. Like they say, you reap what you sow, and that’s the truth whether you’re plantin’ corn or scoutin’ football players.
