Three days after hiring Aaron Glenn as their next head coach, the New York Jets reportedly have a general manager to build his team.
The Jets are hiring Denver Broncos assistant general manager Darren Mougey as their next general manager, according to a Saturday afternoon report from Adam Schefter of ESPN.
"Mougey was a part of two Super Bowl teams, and the Broncos believe he played a key role in Denver’s resurgence this year," Schefter wrote.
A native of Scottsdale, Ariz., Mougey played four years at San Diego State as a quarterback and wide receiver from 2005 to '08. Since 2012, he's worked with the Broncos organization, working his way up from scouting intern to assistant general manager.
