The Green Bay Packers are expected to hire a respected personnel executive with ties to Wisconsin to be Brian Gutekunst’s right-hand man in the front office.

According to long-time beat reporter Bob McGinn, the Packers are set to hire Baltimore Ravens national scout Milt Hendrickson, a friend of Gutekunst’s, to a top job in the front office.

The Packers tried but were blocked by the Ravens from hiring Hendrickson last offseason.

A former high school coach in Wisconsin and assistant coach at UW-La Crosse. Hendrickson joined the Ravens as a personnel assistant in 2005. He was promoted to Midwest regional scout in 2008 before another promotion to national scout in 2016.

According to the Baltimore Sun, Hendrickson’s focus with the Ravens as a regional scout was scouting offensive linemen, and he was central in the team’s decision to draft Pro Bowl guard Kelechi Osemele.

Hendrickson has ties to the Packers, having completed a scouting internship with the team during training camp in 2004.

Long-time Ravens GM Ozzie Newsome, who blocked Hendrickson’s move last year, is retiring after the 2018 season. He’ll be replaced by assistant GM Eric DeCosta.

Hendrickson is said to have grown up a Packers fan. He still lives in the La Crosse area.
