New-school hire Omar Khan has some old-school philosophies. Taking a page out of the Bill Parcells playbook, Khan’s football foundation is built in the trenches. Appearing on The Jerry Hughes Podcast, Khan talked about the keys to roster-building.
“Without divulging too much of my philosophy, I’d say, you always want to get the guys that protect the quarterback and get the guys that get to the quarterback,” he told the podcast.
