FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Graduating from Princeton University with a psychology degree, then earning a law degree from the University of Virginia, Matt Groh had no shortage of promising career options to consider.
But after practicing law for a few years, Groh called his father, Al, and said in 2011: "It's time. I'm ready to make the move."
The family business of football was calling.
Matt Groh has since ascended from an entry-level scouting assistant to the New England Patriots' director of player personnel -- a rapid rise that isn't surprising to those closest to him.
