PFHOF PARTNERS WITH NFLDRAFTSCOUT.COM and THE SPORTS XCHANGE

The Pro Football Hall of Fame has partnered with NFLDraftScout.com and The Sports Xchange to co-brand inspiring and unique content covering the full continuum of football players and coaches ranging from youth level through the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The “Cradle to Canton” concept is built around the Hall of Fame’s Mission to “Honor the Heroes of the Game, Preserve its History, Promote its Values and Celebrate Excellence EVERYWHERE!”

NFLDraftScout.com debuted in 1987 and has built the reputation as the leader in evaluation of thousands of college players. The website relaunched earlier today and will be part of the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s growing platforms of multimedia content built around the game.

“The Pro Football Hall of Fame looks forward in the coming days, weeks, and years to working with NFLDraftScout.com to provide the football world with a dynamic platform to share many inspiring stories of players from the youth level, high school, college, NFL and those who ultimately reach the Hall of Fame,” stated David Baker, the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s President & CEO. “We will curate the history as it is made by all of those who play this great game and focus on the elements that make individuals great at each level of the sport.”

NFLDraftScout.com tracks more than 3,200 college players in each class and ranks the top 1,000 leading up to the draft. The Hall of Fame and NFLDraftScout.com’s co-branded content also extends to The Sports Xchange’s coverage of football that will include syndicated news and premium NFL Draft content, products and publications. Coverage of the NFL by The Sports Xchange includes a daily wire, breaking news coverage, game previews, and complete coverage of OTA and minicamps around the league, in addition to expert team analysis of each of the 32 clubs. The Sports Xchange provides award-winning coverage of college football.

The Hall’s partnership with NFLDraftScout.com and The Sports Xchange will expand the reach and scope of coverage of all levels of the game. The editorial teams will scour the globe to profile the greatest involved with the game ranging from youth through the most elite who earned a bronzed bust in Canton.

After three decades of providing insight and analysis to numerous media and the NFL itself, NFLDraftScout.com and The Sports Xchange are excited and honored to find a home with the Pro Football Hall of Fame," said TSX and Draft Scout founder and CEO Frank Cooney (pictured on left with Baker). "After all, this is where all things football belong."

The exclusive in-depth multimedia content that is created will be archived in the Hall of Fame’s Ralph Wilson, Jr. Pro Football Research & Preservation Center for future generations to enjoy.
