GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Forget what you think you know about the Green Bay Packers and the way they acquire players.
Yes, new general manager Brian Gutekunst worked for Ron Wolf, Mike Sherman and Ted Thompson and alongside Scot McCloughan, John Schneider, Reggie McKenzie and John Dorsey – all of whom went on to GM jobs of their own after training under some or all of the former Packers general managers.
Most of his schooling – other than one year as a scouting assistant with the Chiefs and one summer as a coaching assistant with the Saints – came with the Packers.
