The Kansas City Chiefs have finalized their personnel department for the 2022 NFL season, announcing several changes and additions to the front office.
A few of the changes include shuffling the roles of members of the staff from the previous season. Here’s a look at the roles that members of the front office staff will hold during the course of the 2022 NFL calendar year:
- Madison Aponte – Player Personnel Assistant
- Mike Borgonzi – Assistant General Manager
- Mike Bradway – Senior Director of Player Personnel
- Greg Castillo – West Regional Scout
- Will Christopherson – NFS Scout
- Cade Ciarrocca – Training Camp Player Personnel Intern
- Willie Davis – Senior Personnel Executive
- Terry Delp – Senior College Scouting Executive
- David Hinson – Co-Director of College Scouting
- Jonathan Howard – National Scout
- Chandler Jones – Training Camp Player Personnel Intern
- Cassidy Kaminski – Northeast Area Scout
- Jason Lamb – Southwest Regional Scout
- Anthony McGee – Player Personnel Assistant
- Jalen Myrick – College and Pro Scout
- Ryne Nutt – Director of Player Personnel / College Scouting
- Leesa Rockhold – Norma Hunt Training Camp Fellowship Intern
- Chris Shea – Vice President of Football Operations / Team Counsel
- Janae Simmonds – Norma Hunt Training Camp Fellowship Intern
- Brian Smith – Training Camp Player Personnel Intern
- Pat Sperduto – Co-Director of College Scouting
- Kunal Tanna – Assistant to the General Manager
- Tim Terry – Director of Player Personnel / Pro Scouting
- Brandt Tilis – Vice President of Football Operations
- Jack Wolov – Football Administration Coordinator
Most of the new additions are to the lower-level personnel roles. We’d previously reported additions of Jonathan Howard as a National Scout, Madison Aponte as a Player Personnel Assistant, and Will Christopherson as NFS Scout.
Interestingly, the Chiefs added Jack Wolov as a Football Operations Coordinator. Wolov most recently served Athletes First sports agency as a Salary Cap and Contracts Intern.
There are a few promotions that the team announced here too.
Tim Terry is now the team’s Director of Player Personnel / Pro Scouting after serving as the team’s Senior Director of Pro Scouting in 2021. Kunal Tanna has been promoted from a Player Personnel Assistant to GM Brett Veach’s assistant. Ryne Nutt is now Director of Player Personnel / College Scouting after serving as Senior Director of College Scouting in 2021. Pat Sperduto and David Hinson are now Co-Directors of College Scouting after being Senior College Scouting Executives in 2021.
In addition to the promotions and hires to the front office staff, the team announced training camp interns and the 2022 Norma Hunt Training Camp fellows. Leesa Rockhold and Janae Simmonds will be this year’s participants. The team launched the Norma Hunt Training Camp Fellowship Program last offseason with the goal of creating opportunities for women within NFL front offices. It’s safe to say it was a success being that the team hired Madison Aponte after she participated in the fellowship.
Cade Ciarrocca, Chandler Jones and Brian Smith were announced as this year’s training camp interns.
