Evaluating Rick Spielman

Let’s kick-off the Vikings off-season evaluations with the Vikings football-related front office staff, led by General Manager Rick Spielman. His top staff include EVP Rob Brzezinski, who manages the salary cap, and VP/Asst. GM George Paton, who leads the scouting groups.

The Vikings Player Personnel / Football Administration staff led by Spielman, Brzezinski and Paton includes a total of 22 staff and 2 interns. They’re generally broken down into three groups: Pro scouting, college scouting, and analytics.

Their primary function, like all NFL team player personnel/football operations groups, is a continuous process of roster improvement.
