My apologies, I meant what staff coaches them; random coaches, an NFL team, etc.

Its assistant coaches from staffs that haven't made it into the playoffs picked by the League.
It's usually one position as a head coach then assistant position coaches and quality control coaches filling out the rest of the staff.

East West Shrine Quarterbacks lol...but Mason Fine does sound interesting.
I like Mason Fine as a late-round guy for someone. I've known about him for years; he set the state of Oklahoma on fire in high school. He owns the all time record for touchdowns and yards and is the only player to ever win the state's Gatorade Player of the Year award twice. He then went on and played really well in college.
He is a smaller guy (5'11) but he could find a role as a quality back-up/spot starter in the NFL.

That's what bugged me about people saying that coaches can do scouting and with Mike Brown's always just relying on reports and things is that we rarely ever found late round gems or small school guys.
I'm excited about this because we finally have a head coach that knows the direction that he wants to go and can tell his coordinators and other coaches what to look for in the practices and games.
This is where you see what the players are made of and who has improved and is working hard because this is a last audition for a lot of players so the rest of their lives depends on this game and these practices.
Taylor will also have a direction that he wants to go with the team, unlike Marvin ever did, so he'll have his coaches looking for players to fit his scheme.
I like it!

Garrett Marino is a guy that looking forward toward seeing in the shrine game he plays with intensity, he is explosive, and he made Bruce Feldman top freaks list this summer( ran a 4.7 and bench pressed 225 like 30+ times.

Some East West Shrine Day One Practice Notes.
https://www.profootballnetwork.com/live-from-the-east-west-shrine-game-practice-day-one/
A few quotes:
Quote:1:45 pm ET: Both Miami LBs Shaq Quarterman and Mike Pinckney are really struggling in coverage drills. They are continuously getting beat by RB/TE.
Quote:4:15 PM ET: Oregon’s OL Calvin Throckmorton is lining up as a guard during West practice and looks very natural. Love his vision, awareness and blocking feel.
Quote:5:30 PM ET:Louisiana G Kevin Dotson is having a nice day. He has terrific fundamentals and position blocking.
