The Green Bay Packers<\/a> front office added another piece last week. Green Bay is hiring Will Redmond<\/span><\/span><\/a> into a front-office role. The move comes as general manager Brian Gutekunst<\/span><\/span> <\/a>continues reshaping the front office following the departure of former Vice President of Player Personnel Jon-Eric Sullivan<\/a>, who left to become general manager of the Miami Dolphins<\/a>.<\/p>\n

SEC Background<\/h3>\n

Redmond most recently served as general manager of the football program at Auburn<\/span><\/span>, working under head coach Hugh Freeze. He was not retained after Auburn hired new head coach Alex Golesh, which opened the door for an NFL move.<\/p>\n

Before Auburn, Redmond built a strong reputation at LSU <\/span><\/span>as Director of Player Personnel under Brian Kelly. When Kelly\u2019s staff arrived, LSU had fewer than 40 scholarship players. Redmond helped rebuild the roster quickly, assembling top-10 recruiting and transfer portal classes.<\/p>\n

Among those transfer additions was quarterback Jayden Daniels<\/span><\/span>,<\/a> who went on to win the Heisman Trophy in 2023. Redmond also held personnel roles at Kansas, Middle Tennessee State, and Kentucky.<\/p>\n

The SEC remains the NFL\u2019s most productive talent pipeline. More than 100 recent NFL Combine invites came from SEC programs. Redmond\u2019s experience strengthens Green Bay\u2019s access to that conference.<\/p>\n

A Slight Connection<\/h3>\n

Redmond began working with the Packers during Senior Bowl week, evaluating prospects before the hire became public.<\/p>\n

Redmond also has a direct connection to current Packers cornerback Carrington Valentine<\/span><\/span><\/a>. During his time at Kentucky, he helped recruit Valentine out of high school. Valentine later developed into a draft pick for Green Bay in 2023.<\/p>\n

The Bigger Picture<\/h3>\n

Green Bay\u2019s front office is evolving. With personnel leadership changes already underway, adding Redmond strengthens the team\u2019s college evaluation structure.<\/p>\n

His exact title has not been formally announced, but his role is expected to center on scouting and player personnel. For a franchise built on draft-and-develop principles, adding a respected SEC evaluator fits the long-term model.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
