Packers lose area scout to Browns

Charles Walls, who scouted the southwest region for the Packers in 2019, is leaving Green Bay for the Browns.

The Cleveland Browns are stealing away one of the Green Bay Packers’ area scouts.

According to Rob Demovsky of ESPN, Charles Walls – who spent the last five years in Green Bay as a college scout – is leaving Green Bay for a new opportunity in Cleveland.

Walls joined the Packers scouting staff in 2013. An area scout since 2015, Walls scouted the fertile southwest region for GM Brian Gutekunst during the 2019 season.

Browns GM Andrew Berry is bringing Walls to Cleveland to be a national scout, providing a promotion for the young evaluator.

The Packers’ remaining college scouts are Luke Benuska, Joe Hueber, Patrick Moore, Mike Owen, Brandian Ross and Brett Thiesen. Chris Gaines is a scouting assistant.
