Patriots' influence apparent in how Bob Quinn built Detroit's front office

INDIANAPOLIS -- In his first two months as general manager, Bob Quinn has been restructuring the Detroit Lions front office.

Between moves on the business side made by team president Rod Wood and moves on the football operations side by Quinn, the Lions operations will have a different look. On the football side of things, there’s a reason for that.

Coming from the New England Patriots, the approach to scouting is different. The Patriots mostly look at players as how they fit into the construct of the team and the league as a whole more than a round value.
