Could this be premature? Yeah, it sure can be, but after a couple of short months on the job, I believe hiring George Paton will soon prove to be the best thing John Elway did for the Denver Broncos (aside from the Lombardis).
Here’s why.
George Paton has taken a long and deliberate road to get to this point. His career started in Chicago, where he was a Scouting Intern for the Bears. He then spent the 1998-1999 seasons as a Pro Scout and quickly became the Bears Assistant Director of Player Personnel in 2000.
