General manager Mike Maccagnan and the Jets have named Brian Heimerdinger the team's director of player personnel.
This season Heimerdinger was in his third season as a scout for the St. Louis Rams. As a player personnel analyst, he evaluated both pro and college players. His pro responsibilities included evaluating all players on nine NFL rosters, and on the college side he was the Rams' Southwest area scout.
Heimerdinger enters his sixth season in the NFL. Before the Rams, he served as a scouting intern with Houston when Maccagnan was in the Texans' scouting department, and he also worked with the Tennessee Titans.
Heimerdinger played wide receiver at Colorado State before finishing his collegiate career at Northern Colorado.
