MOBILE, Ala. — This is the epicenter of the NFL for a few days, and the Renaissance Riverview Plaza Hotel is ground zero for scouts to do much of their work. Oh yes, the practice fields are important. But the interviews, which will go on before and after the daily practice sessions, are equally as huge. Scouts pull players into corners, down hallways and behind doors to steal a few minutes of fact time. It’s where many of the teams stay, it’s where all of the players are staying, so much of the action not on the field happens here. Scouts have questions. They hope the players have answers. The right answers, that is. In one corner of the hotel, a San Diego Chargers scout is grilling Maryland DT Quinton Jefferson about anything and everything. Firing off questions like a veteran courtroom prosecutor. “How many brothers and sisters do you have?” “What do you eat for breakfast?” “And what happened with that little fight you had?” They’re essentially private investigators, these scouts, spending hundreds of days on the road each year with their ears firmly planted on the ground. They know all.
