FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- When the Green Bay Packers front office gathered on NFL draft day in the 1990s, it was a star-studded cast of scouts on general manager Ron Wolf's staff joined by a youngster dreaming of one day working in the NFL.
That youngster?
None other than current New England Patriots director of scouting Eliot Wolf, Ron's son.
Eliot developed a passion for scouting at age 10, and when he would go to work with his dad on draft day as a teenager, he had a specific assignment. Whenever a player was selected, he was to remove the player's card from the Packers' board, hold it up for everyone to see, and then place it with the team that made the pick.
