This behind-the-scenes Detroit Lions executive will help with GM search

While the Detroit Lions are planning to use every available resource from the NFL and Fritz Pollard Alliance in their ongoing search for a new general manager, owner Sheila Ford Hamp and president Rod Wood ultimately will make the call on who they hire.

And as they go about sorting through a comprehensive list of candidates, one behind-the-scenes executive expected to play a major role in the search — at least from an information gathering standpoint — is vice president of football administration Mike Disner.
