The new Browns front office led by GM Andrew Berry continues to make bold choices in the hiring process. Per a report from Yahoo Sports, the Browns have hired Kathleen Wood to the scouting department.
Wood has an interesting resume. She spent 2019 as an area scout for the Senior Bowl, scouring the Southeast region for prospects for the annual All-Star game. Wood has some NFL scouting experience, working as an intern for the Bills and Eagles before joining the Senior Bowl.
Beyond that, it gets really interesting. Wood was a private investigator who built a practice that lasted over 15 years. She left that behind to pursue her dream of scouting football.
Wood joins Callie Brownson as females on the Browns staff under Berry. Brownson is the team’s chief of staff for rookie head coach Kevin Stefanski.
