1. Having communicated with three scouts today, it looks like
the consensus is that the Browns, Jets and Chiefs are definitely expected to
make changes in their scouting departments, though it's unclear if they'll be
cleaning house or just making a few additions and subtractions. We've also
heard that Carolina is a possibility, though there is less chatter about the
Panthers.
It also seems obvious that the Rams will be making hires
given the losses they suffered in their scouting department in January; head
coach Jeff Fisher will have a lot of influence on those hires, we're told.
2. For what it's worth, the roommate of BYU DE Ziggy Ansah, who's expected to go in the
first round next weekend, was Cougars WO Kyle
Van Noy, who's also expected to get strong first-round consideration in
2014. Ansah is a client of Stockton, Calif.-based Sun West Sports.
3. Speaking of BYU, Kelly
Poppinga is the special teams coordinator and outside linebackers coach for
the Cougars. During his one year in the NFL as a linebacker with the Cardinals,
Poppinga was represented by Santa Monica, Calif.-based Michael Hoffman of
Premier Stinson. His brother, Brady, a free agent linebacker who spent last
season with the Cowboys, remains a Premier Stinson client. |
