Vikings name Jamaal Stephenson and Ryan Monnens co-directors of player personnel

The Vikings solidified a reorganization of the team's scouting and personnel departments on Tuesday, announcing 12 new titles and one new hire.

The Vikings' new co-directors of player personnel will be Jamaal Stephenson and Ryan Monnens. Both are entering their 20th seasons with the team after serving in the longtime roles of college scouting director and pro scouting director, respectively. Together they'll oversee all player personnel decisions, with Stephenson spending less time on the scouting trail and more time at the team's headquarters in Eagan.

They'd already started to help fill the void left when former assistant general manager George Paton became Denver's general manager in January.
