According to College Strength and Conditioning Boyd Epley they are. Excerpts from the article where Epley was interviewed about his previous student and current Chip Kelly's Sports Science guy, Shaun Huls follows:

 

<p style="margin-left:40px;">"...You mentioned before that he's on the cutting edge of what he does. How so?


<p style="margin-left:40px;"> 


<p style="margin-left:40px;">'He's on the cutting edge by utilizing the latest in technology. He's not only learning and looking for new and improved ways to develop athletes, he's smart enough to understand what he's looking at. Not everyone has that ability to understand what they're seeing, but Shaun does. There are a lot of NFL teams trying to copy what he's doing. He is, in a lot of ways, ahead of most them. Of course, they're each pretty secretive, but there's probably only a handful that'd be in the same league as him.'


<p style="margin-left:40px;"> 

<p style="margin-left:40px;">In what ways is he ahead of other NFL teams?


<p style="margin-left:40px;">'The Jacksonville Jaguars are also in that same league. There may be a couple of others that I'm not familiar with, but certainly those two are leading the pack that I'm aware of for the NFL. They're using sports science to evaluate how to put the best talent on the field.
