PlayPrep turns PFF and ESPN data into a complete, film-backed scouting report for any opponent: offense and defense, in minutes. The breakdown that would save a full analytics staff days of work.
PlayPrep was started by Naman and JP, Stanford students building the scouting tool they wanted the program to have.
Built to your program Need a feature you don't see, or your staff's own names for coverages and concepts? We are happy to add both.
Backed by PFF and ESPN data
One search loads a full opponent breakdown across personnel, tendencies, coverages, pressure, motion, and formations, on both sides of the ball.
Defensive and offensive scouting in two clicks: personnel, tendencies, pass rush, coverages, motions, and formations, all in one view.
A rule miner surfaces pre-snap tells on defense and offense alike: "single-high means Cover 1 95% of the time," or "right hash on third down means Flood Left." Every tell is back-tested on held-out games, so the hit rate you see is the hit rate you get.
Efficiency score cards rank every unit against an FBS baseline, so you know exactly where the matchup is winnable before you script a play.
Built-in question modules answer what a coordinator actually asks: empty checks, dime substitutions, explosive-play recipes, and the go-to call on money downs.
Opponent-specific machine learning predicts coverage pre-snap in two tiers: the coverage to expect, and the situational change-ups that spike under a specific look.
Focused scouting on exactly what a team does in the moments that decide games: the two-minute drill, killing the clock to protect a lead, backed up inside their own ten, and the first snaps after a takeaway. You get each situation's go-to calls, not the season averages that wash them out.
Every number traces back to the exact PFF IDs behind it, so an insight is one click from the film. We integrate directly with your video platform, so the matching clips open right where your staff already watches film.
Ask a question in plain English. When the answer is not already on the page, the analyst pulls live PFF data, runs its own analysis, and reasons through it step by step, showing its progress as it goes.
Drop a backup-quarterback game or a weather game and the whole report rebuilds off the tape that counts. Garbage-time snaps are filtered out by default, so tendencies reflect competitive football.
Scouting a team in Week 2 with one game on tape? PlayPrep blends in the end of their prior season to build a usable sample, crediting returning players and dropping the ones who left. It also accounts for coaching changes and key personnel moves, so a new coordinator or a departed star does not skew the read.
Coaches do not all call it the same thing. PlayPrep maps to your staff's own terminology, your names for coverages, fronts, and concepts, so the report reads the way your room already talks.
Rank the five most similar units to any opponent, so last week's tape against a comparable scheme becomes this week's prep.
PlayPrep was shaped alongside Stanford's coaching staff, under a program led by general manager Andrew Luck, built around the questions coaches ask in the meeting room rather than the metrics that look good in a spreadsheet. Every tab earned its place by answering something a coordinator needed that week.

Every game-planning question answered for this opponent, from how they defend the run to their go-to call on money downs, each one backed by the tape.

Pressure and blitz rates by down and distance, the coverage played behind the blitz, and the players who bring it.

Our own improved PFF grades, in-depth tendencies reports, throwing and rushing profiles, and production by down for the players who decide the game.

What the offense does after motion, mined and sorted by how reliably each look tips the call.

Run and pass concepts with plays, yards, first-down rate, and explosive rate on each, split by personnel grouping.

The most similar units across the country on a multi-dimensional profile, with the matching traits called out.

The two-minute drill, the four-minute clock-kill, and more, each with what the offense changes from its own baseline.

Each key defender scored against the rest of the roster, with the specific edge or weakness to attack written out in plain language.
