Vikings General Manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah continued to add to his front office staff on Monday, as the team hired the 49ers' Demitrius Washington as its vice president of football operations and strategy.
Washington had been with San Francisco for the past seven seasons, beginning his time there alongside Adofo-Mensah in the team's football research and development department. Washington, who earned a master's degree in business administration with an emphasis in finance and analytics from Missouri, worked on developing predictive and statistical analysis for the 49ers' football operation.
In Minnesota, Washington will have one of the most senior roles in the team's football administration department, which includes co-directors of player personnel Jamaal Stephenson and Ryan Monnens as well as senior football advisor Ryan Grigson.
