It’s been about four and a half years since the Detroit Lions decided to move on from general manager Martin Mayhew. Now the former Lions GM is preparing for the Super Bowl as the vice president of player personnel for the San Francisco 49ers.
Now in his third year with the 49ers, Mayhew took some time to reflect on his front office NFL career in a recent interview with the Detroit Free Press.
Mayhew took over as Lions general manager after team infamously went 0-16 in 2008. Promoted from within the organization, Mayhew took a winless team to the playoffs in three years.
