The scouts will say that it's the coaches who tend to fall in love with players. The scouts claim they spend months evaluating a player and then after the season the coaches get involved and all of that goes out the window. Supposedly Tim Tebow is a perfect example of this as he stock increased late after he wowed the coaches in his interviews despite the holes in his game identified by the scouts.
