Kleine is believed to be the highest ranking woman in scouting in NFL history.
In a historic move on Monday, George Paton and the Denver Broncos hired longtime Vikings staffer Kelly Kleine to be their Executive Director of Football Operations/Special Advisor to the GM.
Kleine is believed to be the highest ranking woman in scouting in NFL history.
Kleine arrived in Minnesota a decade ago as a PR intern, quickly got her foot in the door on the scouting side, and worked her way up the ladder through talent and dedication. She most recently was the team's Manager of Player Personnel in addition to being a college scout in the midwest. Kleine is now reunited with Paton, who had been with the Vikings for 15 years prior to being hired as Denver's GM this offseason.
