General manager Bob Quinn gave some insight Wednesday into the new structure of the Lions’ personnel department.
Kyle O’Brien, who Quinn hired from the Jacksonville Jaguars, runs the department as the director of player personnel.
“He is going to be our director of player personnel and he is going to oversee the scouting department, both the college and pro sides,” Quinn said.
“He’s a long-trusted friend and confidant. We started – he was an intern with the Patriots when I was in my first couple years full-time. He was going to Harvard and he would drive over and work nights doing the playbooks, helping us with scouting tapes and it was just really good.
