GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers once employed an all-star scouting department before teams plucked away three of them – John Schneider in 2010, Reggie McKenzie in 2012 and John Dorsey in 2013 – to become general managers.
All three started under Ron Wolf and became GMs while working under Ted Thompson. Also on those staffs were the likes of Brian Gutekunst, Eliot Wolf and Alonzo Highsmith.
The Packers might be on their way to something similar.
They have spent the last several years trying to replicate that kind of staff in their personnel department.
