The Detroit Lions have hired former Miami Dolphins general manager Chris Grier as a personnel executive, according to a report from Adam Schefter of ESPN.
The addition of Grier provides the Lions front office with a veteran evaluator who has decades of experience in the NFL. Grier previously spent 25 seasons with the Dolphins organization, serving in various scouting roles before being promoted to general manager in 2016. During his tenure in Miami, he was responsible for overseeing all aspects of football operations and roster management.
In Detroit, Grier is expected to serve in a high-level scouting and advisory capacity, supporting the existing personnel department. The Lions have been active in strengthening their staff as they look to maintain their competitive window in the NFC. This move signifies a commitment to bringing in proven league executives to assist with talent acquisition and draft preparation.
