Robert Kraft said the New England Patriots would appoint a leader of their personnel department after they gained insight into internal and external options. After weeks of speculation, they apparently have made a decision.
NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport reported Wednesday that Eliot Wolf appears to be in charge of the Patriots personnel department.
It should not come as a major surprise as Wolf and Matt Groh figured to be New England’s top two internal candidates. Wolf’s fingerprints have been on a few recent hires, as well.
According to Rapoport, Wolf will have control of the 53-man roster and work closely with first-year head coach Jerod Mayo.
