Jessica Larmony sat in a second-floor ballroom at the J.W. Marriott in Indianapolis two years ago, amazed and excited by what she saw.
Larmony had just finished her first year as Detroit Lions scouting operations manager after serving in a variety of roles in college athletics and with the Lions.
She started as a recruiting assistant during her freshman year at Rutgers, joined the staff full-time after she graduated, was one of P.J. Fleck’s first and most important behind-the-scenes hires at Western Michigan and spent four years with the Broncos before leaving for a community relations job with the Lions.
