No. 1 Option: Packers’ Assistant Director of Pro Personnel
The Green Bay Packers have been a consistent playoff-bound football team. A major part of the Packers’ success is their front office. Much of the credit goes to the team’s GM, Ted Thompson.
Thompson deserve a lot of credit, as he has managed to build a team around future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers and installed Mike McCarthy as their head coach. That pairing has worked well for them.

However, the heavy lifting when it comes to the rest of the roster falls on the shoulders of Thompson’s personnel men. This brings me to the Packers’ assistant director of pro personnel, Tim Terry. You can read more about him here.
Terry has worked within Green Bay’s front office the past 13 years. In that time, he has worked as the director of player development. He was tasked with developing NFL-caliber players, locker-room cohesiveness, developing leadership and helping players acclimate their roles both on and off the field.
Terry would be instrumental in helping San Francisco’s current rebuild process. He would help develop the current flock of young talent, while also helping to develop a locker room stock with leaders. Terry is my first choice as the new VP of Player Personnel.
