The 38-year old Ziegler fills Bob Quinn's former role in the scouting department.
In January, New England Patriots Director of Pro Scouting Bob Quinn decided to leave club after 12 seasons to become the Detroit Lions' new General Manager. His departure left a void in the Patriots' scouting department; one, that has now been filled.
As has been expected, Quinn's former assistant Dave Ziegler is the one asked to fill his former boss's shoes, according to Mike Reiss.
Ziegler joined the Patriots in 2013 after originally entering the NFL in 2010 as a member of the Denver Broncos' scouting department.
