INDIANAPOLIS – Any bumps in the road Bob Quinn encountered in his first year as general manager of the Detroit Lions are something Hall of Fame NFL front office executive and renowned team-builder Bill Polian expects will smoothen out in Quinn’s second year in Detroit.
Experience is a great teacher, and going through a full season will be invaluable for Quinn, Polian said. That is especially true for someone who came from the outside, as opposed to being promoted from within the
organization.
Quinn had worked in the New England Patriots’ personnel department since 2000 before being hired by the Lions in January of 2016.
