Lions add John Dorsey, Ray Agnew to front office

After the Detroit Lions added some key experience to their coaching staff, general manager Brad Holmes is bringing in both accomplished voice and familiar voice to work with in the team's front office.

On Wednesday, the Lions announced the hiring of former Chiefs and Browns general manager John Dorsey as a senior personnel executive and Los Angeles Rams director of pro personnel Ray Agnew as Holmes' assistant GM.

Dorsey brings an extensive resume that should help offset some of Holmes' relative inexperience as a first-time general manager.

A former linebacker for the Green Bay Packers in the 1980s, Dorsey transitioned into a scouting role for the team after his playing days.
