In nine years as Green Bay’s general manager, Ron Wolf made many of the moves that turned the Packers into one of the best franchises in football. Now Wolf’s son is climbing up the Packers’ organizational ladder.
The Packers announced today that Eliot Wolf, who is entering his eighth season with the Packers, has been named assistant director of player personnel.
“Eliot is an important part of our personnel staff,” Packers G.M. Ted Thompson said in the team’s announcement. “Over the years, his responsibilities and duties have continued to grow. His contributions to our efforts in pro scouting have been tremendous, and he has taken on more in the college scouting and draft preparations. We believe this adjustment is an appropriate recognition of his continued growth within our personnel group.”
The 28-year-old Wolf served as assistant director of pro personnel for the past three seasons and a pro personnel assistant for four seasons before that.
Wolf’s bio on the Packers’ site says he started helping his dad study film when he was 10.
