Dave Gettleman may be handling the 2018 NFL Draft in his first year as general manager of the New York Giants, but he won’t be doing it alone.

The New York Post reports that Gettleman has hired Mark Koncz, the former Carolina Panthers personnel executive, to serve as a consultant tasked with assisting the scouting department.

Dave Gettleman has imported help for the upcoming draft, bringing in former Panthers personnel executive Mark Koncz as a consultant to assist the scouting department, The Post has learned, for what will be a crucial evaluation period leading up to one of the most important selections the Giants have had in decades.

Koncz had been with the Panthers since their inception, serving as an intern in their ticket office in 1994 before joining the football operations staff in 1995.

In 1998, Koncz joined Carolina’s pro scouting department and then took over as its director in 2000. He remained in that role until Gettleman promoted him to director of player personnel in May of last year, but that was short-lived. After Gettleman’s firing, Koncz was also dismissed a month later when Marty Hurney took over as the team’s general manager.

Although Koncz has a long history in pro personnel, Gettleman obviously trusts and respects him enough to bring on board ahead of the 2018 NFL Draft.
