Eliot Wolf, Matt Groh Could Be GM Candidates For Patriots

10 months ago

The New England Patriots named Jerod Mayo as the successor to former head coach Bill Belichick, but they have yet to name a new general manager. Mayo began reaching out to candidates shortly after he was hired, and it seems likely a new voice will be added to the personnel department, but that role or title is still anyone's guess. In-house candidates Eliot Wolf and Matt Groh have been under consideration. If Wolf is running the show, the Patriots are expected to give a long, hard look at drafting a left tackle with the third overall pick this year. It's an attractive job opening, as the new GM will have a blank slate with a first-time head coach and an owner, Robert Kraft, who is highly regarded by league executives. For the last 24 years, Belichick has been making all personnel decisions for the Patriots.
