Some good young scouting assistants are being hired around the @nfl. Also some getting hired because of their last name, a box they check or someone they know.
If teams are not properly vetting candidates (which they arenβt) and then evaluating and developing - the game will suffer.
@InsideTheLeague

-- New DPP Matt Winston is a 2X BART List Award winner.

Genesis 9.13-17
I set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between Me and the earth. It shall be, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow shall be seen in the cloud; and I will remember My covenant which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. The rainbow shall be in the cloud, and I will look on it to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.β And God said to Noah, βThis is the sign of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that is on the earth.β
Memorial Day is now in the rear-view mirror. That means that most of the hiring/firing in NFL front offices is over.
So what have we learned? What are the trends? What can aspiring scouts gather from it all? We're all in on the hires/exits & what it all means in today's Wrap. Register here: https://t.co/oSgRC6yTwA
The #Steelers have updated their website (https://t.co/pO47fCYfmw) w/several new front office roles. Highlights:
--Sheldon White: Dir of Pro Scouting=> Sr. Personnel Exec
--Max Gruder (@MGruder55): Asst Dir of Player Scouting=> Dir of Pro Personnel
--Kelvin Fisher: Sr. Scouting Asst=> Sr. National Scout
Also, Tim Gribble title is Sr. Dir of College Personnel
If @NFL front offices were serious about their "1% better" mantra - evaluation and development would be a standard part of their organization.
