Eliot Wolf reportedly will have final say in the New England Patriots’ front office, but he’ll have plenty of help — including from an intriguing new addition.
Former NFL fullback and University of Miami general manager of football operations Alonzo Highsmith is set to join the Patriots’ front officeas a “senior personnel executive,” per ESPN’s Mike Reiss. Highsmith has an impressive resume that includes stints as a senior personnel executive with the Green Bay Packers (2012 to 2017) and vice president of player personnel with the Cleveland Browns (2018 to 2019). He also won an NCAA championship as a player at the University of Miami, where he overlapped with future Hall of Fame wide receiver Michael Irvin.
Irvin joined 98.5 The Sports Hub’s Zolak & Bertrand from Super Bowl Radio Row in Las Vegas on Friday and explained why Highsmith is a great addition for the Patriots who should work very well with new head coach Jerod Mayo.
