Some background info on Todd McShay:

McShay had worked as an undergraduate team equipment manager at the University of Richmond before landing an internship with former NFL scout Gary Horton in 1998. Following graduation, McShay worked full-time for “The War Room”, (1999–2006) a start-up publication created by Horton eventually bought by ESPN and renamed “Scouts Inc.“

He joined ESPN in 2006 as a football analyst, providing in-depth scouting information on college football players across the country.
