Create a standardized tool to measure peripheral vision for NFL combine athletes to improve player evaluation.

The pain

Current NFL combine tests lack a standardized peripheral vision metric, leaving a gap in assessing a key player skill.

The gap

No existing tool or metric is widely accepted or used to measure peripheral vision in football combines, limiting comprehensive player assessment.

Build angle

Develop a reliable, easy-to-administer peripheral vision test that can be integrated into existing combine protocols and accepted by scouts and coaches.

Strengths

  • Addresses a clear missing metric in a high-profile evaluation process.
  • Potential to improve player scouting and selection accuracy.
  • Niche focus within a well-funded, organized industry.

Risks

  • Uncertainty if peripheral vision measurement will be valued enough by NFL decision-makers.
  • Potential difficulty in creating a standardized, objective, and repeatable test.
  • Market size limited to NFL and possibly other football leagues or sports combines.
  • Resistance to change in established combine testing protocols.
