Scouting Pedigree, Team Building and the Pre-season grind with Eric Stokes

Having the opportunity to work, learn and grow under some of the most highly respected decision makers in the NFL is one thing, taking advantage of all the mentoring is another. Eric Stokes certainly did the latter and discusses it all on Scouting the League. From his days with the Nebraska Cornhuskers under legend Tom Osborne, to joining a Seattle Seahawks staff with Mike Holmgren and Ted Thompson, Eric talks about all the influences he had along the way. John Schneider, Marty Hurney, Dave Gettleman and Ted Thompson, just to name a few. What did he learn from each of them and apply it to his scouting life. We also discuss what a front office exec is doing as we approach the final week of the pre-season and all the considerations a team has when setting not just their 53, but their practice squad as well. All this and so much more.
