Commanders announce addition of two Nunn-Wooten Scouting Fellowship applicants for 2025
One of the things football fans fail to consider is what a professional athlete does after retirement. Whether it's football or another sport, retirement comes much earlier in life than it does for 'typical' jobs. These athletes are retiring in their 30s, sometimes their 20s, and some players are forced to quit playing before they ever get the chance to be a professional. What happens when you retire at the age of 35, and now you don't know what you're going to do for the rest of your life? The NFL has a path for former college and professional football players to remain connected to the sport they love in the way of scouting. Advertisement 'The Nunn-Wooten Scouting Program offers a unique opportunity for former players to learn more about this important profession,' said Troy Vincent, the NFL's Executive Vice President of Football Operations. 'Scouting is a critical function for all NFL teams. Identifying talent and building rosters strategically are keys to every team's success.' Those who wish to take this path have to meet one of three prerequisites: Be a former player, be a former college football player, or be a current college football employee working in recruiting/personnel. If they meet those requirements, they can apply for the fellowship, where they will select five teams they are interested in working with. For the 2025 season, the Washington Commanders are bringing in Andrew Dowell, a former NFL player, and Luke Carr, a current college football employee. Powell and Carr will join the Commanders for the remainder of the offseason workouts and two weeks of training camp in July. They will learn the importance of scouting, how to watch film and write evaluations, and assist in training camp activities from a personnel perspective. Advertisement Applications for the Nunn-Wooten Scouting Fellowship are accepted through June 13, 2025, and all fellowships will conclude by July 31.
