Scout moves on
Scout Matt Russell, who worked for the Patriots for four seasons, has accepted a position with the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles confirmed the hiring of Russell.
Russell was a first-team All-American linebacker at the University of Colorado, and received the 1996 Butkus Award, presented to the nation's top linebacker.
He first joined the Patriots in December of 2000 as a pro scout. After leaving the team in November of 2001, he re-joined the organization in 2003 as an area scout.
The Patriots' personnel department is headed by Scott Pioli. Director of Pro Personnel Nick Caserio and Director of College Scouting Thomas Dimitroff are next in line. The team also has 15 scouts/coordinators, according to its 2005 media guide.
