Giants announce hiring of Brandon Brown as assistant GM

The Giants have made the hiring of assistant GM Brandon Brown official, while also revealing that co-director of player personnel Mark Koncz would not be retained.

The New York Giants have made the hiring of former Philadelphia Eagles director of player personnel Brandon Brown as their new assistant general manager official.

In a statement from general manager Joe Shoen, he praised Brown, who he says “has a strong reputation around the league as a leader, evaluator and consensus builder.”

“Brandon has a strong reputation around the league as a leader, evaluator and consensus builder,” said Schoen. “He is a tireless worker who has experience in pro personnel and college scouting. He has a progressive approach to the evaluation process. Brandon will help lead the player personnel department as well as assist across the entire football operation.”

The 33-year-old assistant general manager spent the last five seasons with the Eagles and worked his way up to director of player personnel in 2021. He will now be tasked with aiding in righting the ship in East Rutherford.

In addition to announcing the hiring of Brown, the Giants also revealed they would not be retaining co-director of player personnel Mark Koncz, who had been with the team since 2018.

As the Giants continue to put together their new regime, the team still has some positions to fill, including at defensive coordinator. New York has already interviewed several candidates for the position.

The Giants are hiring Eagles director of player personnel Brandon Brown as their next assistant GM.

New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen is going to have a new second in command working under him for the 2022 season.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Giants are set to hire Philadelphia Eagles director of player personnel, Brandon Brown, as their next assistant general manager.

Brown will replace Kevin Abrams, who was the long-time Giants assistant general manager for 20 years. Abrams is being retained by the Giants, but will likely take on another role in the organization in 2022.
