From the outside, it looks like New England Patriots executive vice president of player personnel Eliot Wolf is in an awkward situation.
He’s surrounded by a handful of Mike Vrabel confidants in New England’s front office and despite Wolf’s title, it’s unclear what type of power he has in football decisions.
But Wolf insisted Wednesday from the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis that there’s no issues working alongside members of the front office that Vrabel helped bring in. That includes Ryan Cowden, who technically works under Wolf as the vice president of player personnel but has deep ties with Vrabel after they spent time together with the Tennessee Titans.
