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.

'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.

Applications for the Nunn-Wooten Scouting Fellowship are accepted through June 13, 2025, and all fellowships will conclude by July 31.

Rookie Drake Baldwin has 6 RBIs as Braves win 9-5 to hand Giants their 6th straight loss
ATLANTA (AP) — Rookie Drake Baldwin drove in six runs, Ronald Acuña Jr. scored three times and the Atlanta Braves beat San Francisco 9-5 on Monday night, handing the Giants their season-high sixth straight loss. Baldwin was 3 for 5 and scored 2 runs from the DH slot. Acuña had a double and three walks. Willy Adames was 4 for 5 with a home run, two doubles and two RBIs for the Giants. The Braves took a 5-1 lead in the first inning thanks to a wild start from Giants starter Hayden Birdsong (4-4), who did not record an out. He walked the first three batters before Baldwin cleared the bases with a three-run double. Birdsong then walked Ozzie Albies and hit Sean Murphy before he was removed. Birdsong also had a wild pitch to Matt Olson and nearly hit Acuña earlier in the inning. Matt Gage came on and struck out two before giving up a two-run single to Nick Allen. Bryce Elder (4-6) allowed 11 base runners on eight hits and three walks, but gave up just three runs in five innings. He stranded seven runners and picked up his second straight win. Aaron Bummer, Rafael Montero and Enyel De Los Santos covered the final four innings, allowing two runs. Acuña turned in another jaw-dropping play, this time on the basepaths. On what appeared to be a routine single to center field by Baldwin in the fourth inning, Acuña scored from first after running through a stop sign at third base and diving in just ahead of the throw from Adames at shortstop. Key moment After Baldwin gave the Braves a 3-1 lead in the first, Allen's two-run single wrapped up the five-run first inning and put Atlanta firmly in control. Key stat Birdsong threw just 6 of his 25 pitches for strikes in the first inning and now has 17 walks in his last 13 innings. It is the first time in 37 career appearances he did not recorded an out. Up next Braves RHP Davis Daniel (0-0, 1.80) faces Giants RHP Landen Roupp (4-4, 3.27) on Tuesday. ___ AP MLB:

Back from the minors, Francisco Alvarez helps Mets rally past Angels for 7-5 win
NEW YORK (AP) — Juan Soto hit a tying single in the seventh inning, Francisco Alvarez delivered a big double in his return from the minors and the New York Mets rallied past the Los Angeles Angels 7-5 on Monday night. Brett Baty launched a two-run homer for the Mets, who erased an early four-run deficit to match their largest comeback victory this season. They scored the go-ahead run in the eighth on an error by catcher Logan O'Hoppe, and Brandon Nimmo added a sacrifice fly that made it 7-5. Brooks Raley (1-0) pitched a scoreless eighth in his second outing since coming back from Tommy John surgery, earning his first win since April 2024. Edwin Díaz struck out the 2-3-4 hitters in the ninth for his 20th save in 22 opportunities. Taylor Ward had three RBIs for the Angels, who tagged ineffective Mets ace Kodai Senga for four earned runs in three innings. O'Hoppe, who grew up on Long Island about 45 miles from Citi Field, hit a solo homer. Baty's homer off starter Tyler Anderson trimmed it to 4-2 in the fourth. Trailing 5-2, the Mets loaded the bases with nobody out in the seventh. Francisco Lindor beat out a potential double-play ball to drive in a run, then stole second. Soto tied it when he grounded a two-run single off reliever Reid Detmers. Key moment José Fermin (2-1) walked Baty with one out in the eighth, and he went to third when Alvarez doubled off the right-field fence over Chris Taylor's head. Third baseman Luis Rengifo went to his knees to snag a grounder by pinch-hitter Ronny Mauricio, then spun around and had difficulty getting the ball out of his glove. Rengifo's low, wide throw to the plate went off O'Hoppe's mitt, allowing Baty to score. Key stats Senga had permitted three earned runs or fewer in 31 straight starts dating to June 23, 2023, which was the longest active streak in the majors. ... Lindor went 0 for 5 and is hitless in his last 26 at-bats. ... Anderson is winless in 16 starts since beating San Francisco on April 18. He is 0-6 during that stretch. Up next Angels RHP Kyle Hendricks (5-6, 4.88 ERA) faces RHP Frankie Montas (2-1, 5.03) Tuesday night. ___ AP MLB:
