Patriots announce five new front office staff hires

Five new names are joining the Patriots’ front office

On Tuesday, the New England Patriots announced five new additions to their front office. These hires were made throughout the offseason and have now been made official.

One of the more notable names on the list is Alonzo Highsmith, who will serve as the Patriots’ senior personnel executive. He comes from a strong football background. He was most recently the general manager of football operations at the University of Miami.

The other moves for the Patriots include Casey Belongia as an area scout, Bob Kronenberg as a pro scout, A.J. Richardson as a scouting assistant and Landon Simpson as a scouting assistant.

It’s been a busy day for the Patriots organization as they look to solidify their front office personnel. On-field moves typically catch public attention, but the personnel moves are equally important.

These individuals will have a finger on the pulse of a struggling team looking to be rebuilt into a perennial contender.
