Baltimore Ravens Director of Player Personnel Joe Hortiz is now the ninth potential candidate for the New York Giants vacant general manager job. Pat Leonard of the Daily News reported Tuesday evening that the Giants have requested an interview with the Raven’s highly-regarded personnel man.
Hortiz has been with the Ravens since his career began in 1998. That means he has learned at the feet of Hall of Famer Ozzie Newsome and current GM Eric DeCosta.
Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated writes of Hortiz:
The Ravens’ longtime college scouting director moved into Eric DeCosta’s old role when DeCosta replaced a retiring Newsome, and still runs the draft while serving in a more comprehensive capacity.
