The New England Patriots announced on Tuesday that Matt Groh has been promoted to director of player personnel. He will replace Dave Ziegler, who left New England to take the general manager job with the Las Vegas Raiders.
Groh is in his 12th season with the organization. He spent last season as a college scouting director. He has been with the organization since 2011, when he first joined as a scouting assistant. He has taken on many other roles during that timeframe, including area scout and a national scout for the organization.
