Pro Football Focus (PFF), the omnipresent player performance tracking firm owned by NBC Sports lead NFL analyst Cris Collinsworth, is being sold to software and analytics company Teamworks, according to a report by Arif Hasan in his Wide Left Substack. Teamworks is reportedly paying between $130 and $140 million to acquire the company.

The sale is moving forward after PFF initially opened itself up to private investment several years ago, securing a $50 million investment from private equity firm Silver Lake. Collinsworth purchased a majority stake in PFF back in 2014. Per Hasan, Silver Lake’s investment valued PFF at $160 million, with one source saying the company was valued at $223 million at its peak.

IIRC, Austin Collinsworth has worked at PFF since he & his father invested.
lol hes VP or something (nepo baby). Crazy how their valuation dropped from its highest to what they are selling for now. Presume the family still made a bag of cash off it though

I was shocked when I saw the $132m figure.

That seems crazy low.

the scuttlebutt was toxic leadership (including Chris and Austin Collinsworth) forced a bunch of their top guys to quit

Allen Trieu has left 247 for on3. Another big loss for them. Pretty much just have Loy and Dohn left as recognizable national guys at 247
