New England Patriots fans, meet Dave Ziegler.
In his first public comments since Nick Caserio left his post as Patriots director of player personnel to become the Houston Texans’ general manager, Ziegler told Megan O’Brien of Patriots.com he’s excited to take on a more prominent role within the organization.
Ziegler, previously the Patriots’ assistant director of player personnel, now will serve as the team’s top personnel man below head coach/de facto GM Bill Belichick. He said the transition to his new role has been “pretty seamless” thus far.
“It’s been fun, and it’s been challenging,” Ziegler told O’Brien.
