Word started trickling out in NFL circles. The Giants were looking for a new assistant general manager. Pat Kirwan knew someone perfect for the job.
A former Jets scout and executive, current SiriusXM NFL Radio host, and one of the most plugged-in league insiders around, Kirwan had been around long enough to know that his recommendation would not be blown off. He has relationships with Giants brass that run deep, too, so he called them to suggest they consider a rising star he’d been mentoring for nearly two decades.
