Nick Caserio knows a thing or two about the New England Patriots’ new director of player personnel. Matt Groh spent almost his entire time with the team working under Caserio, rising up the ranks before being picked as head of the personnel department last month.

“Matt, he has a unique background,” the Houston Texans’ general manager said. “My first recollection of Matt was the year Chris Long came out of the draft and at the time, Matt was helping Al [Groh] — Al was at the University of Virginia at the time — so we flew in to work Chris out.
