The New England Patriots reportedly interviewed a member of the Philadelphia Eagles organization for their lead personnel position.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Eagles director of scouting Brandon Hunt is interviewing for the position Tuesday.
The title of the position is not yet known, but it’s been reported it will outrank all other positions in football operations, similar to that of an NFL general manager.
Eliot Wolf, the Patriots director of scouting who had final say on draft night, is viewed as the favorite to land the position.
