There now are three former New England Patriots personnel men running NFL front offices.
The Arizona Cardinals on Monday hired Monti Ossenfort as their new general manager, replacing Steve Keim.
Ossenfort worked for the Patriots for more than a decade, climbing from area scout to national scout to assistant director of college scouting and, finally, to director of college scouting during a 14-year tenure that stretched from 2006 to 2019. He left in 2020 to become the Tennessee Titans’ assistant director of player development under Jon Robinson — another Patriots alum — and held that job for the past three seasons.
