Role of Broncos’ IT department during NFL draft: “100% help desk”

Since joining the Broncos in 2008, senior vice president of information technology Russ Trainor’s biggest logistical challenge has been outfitting the team’s Super Bowl 50 hotel in Santa Clara, Calif., for a week-long stay.

“Super Bowl prep is pretty intense because you need to have everything squared away and you’re working to win that game so that was more blood pressure-boiling if you will,” he said.

The past month is a close runner-up.

Since the coronavirus pandemic shut the doors of every NFL facility, the onus has been on the IT staffs of each team to make sure executives, coaches and scouts can enter this week’s draft confident in their at-home technology.
