 He works in the player personnel department of the Detroit Lions, where he helps with college scouting, pro personnel, and the creation of scouting systems. For the 2013 season, he worked with the Lions’ personnel department to acquire 10 new starters, four of whom came via free agency and six through the NFL Draft. After the season, ESPN rated the 2013 draught class as the best of the year.
