Denver Broncos assistant general manager Darren Mougey is making headlines as he receives a second interview for the general manager position with the New York Jets. Mougey has been with the Broncos since 2012 and has steadily worked his way up the ranks, starting as a scouting intern and most recently serving as the assistant general manager under George Paton.
Known for his role in building one of the NFL’s most efficient drafting teams, Mougey has played a key part in the Broncos selecting standout players like Pat Surtain II, Quinn Meinerz, Nik Bonitto, and Marvin Mims Jr. All of whom have received All-Pro honors.
The Jets are also considering Cincinnati Bengals personnel executive Trey Brown for the general manager role, but Mougey is one of two candidates brought back for a second interview. The Jets have been looking to fill the position since firing Joe Douglas in November after a string of losing seasons.
Mougey’s potential move to the top line of an NFL team’s personnel operations highlights his rapid advancement through the ranks and the recognition he and the Broncos have received for their drafting success. As he prepares for his second interview with the Jets, NFL insiders are watching closely to see if Mougey will make the jump to leading an NFL team’s front office.
