With the 2022 NFL Draft approaching, George Paton had plenty to say in the organization’s April 22 press conference, and every bit of it was sprinkled with enthusiasm for the week ahead.
“I’ve really enjoyed the draft process,” Paton noted in his opening statement, “It’s been great collaboration between Coach Hackett, the coaches, the scouts, and really, the entire organization...new staff and most of the coaches are new. We have them grinding on the draft with interviews, Zoom—you name it. They’ve been here late at night with early mornings.”
The coaching staff wasn’t the only group Paton thanked.
