With the NFL Draft in the rear-view mirror, the time for personnel changes on the scouting side has arrived. For the New England Patriots, area scout Josh Hinch is the first domino to fall: Hinch will not be back with the team next season, as first reported by NFL insider Neil Stratton.
A former running back at South Carolina, Hinch arrived in New England in 2021. Originally serving as a pro scout, he became an area scout responsible for the southeast region in 2023.
Before joining the Patriots, Hinch worked as a player personnel director in the XFL and the AAF.
