After working as an intern for the company the previous summer and winning over Packers general manager Ron Wolf, he was employed. At that time, he also got to know Eliot Wolf, Wolf’s 10-year-old son.

As a child, Wolf never concealed his motives or aspirations. He aspired to be like his father when he was a boy. For this reason, he began compiling scouting reports when he was a young boy and frequently visited Lambeau Stadium with his father.

Schneider witnessed firsthand the development of the younger Wolf. When he was a scout for the Packers, he saw him like a younger brother. Prior to taking the helm as general manager of the Seattle Seahawks, Schneider collaborated with Wolf from 2004 to 2009.

Wolf, who is now in head of the Patriots front office, advanced in his career this offseason.

“I used to look after him.” He was in our immediate vicinity at all times. Schneider stated on Tuesday that “he was always in the draft room with us.” He spent all of his time sitting in our offices, learning everything he could. He was a man of strong opinions at all times.He was simply engrossed in it.

“He just departed. I’m glad that he and the Patriots have a good outcome there.

Wolf met with the media on Tuesday, making that the first time he’s held a press conference since joining the Patriots organization in 2020. Although he doesn’t have the general manager title, Wolf’s running the Patriots front office and has the same kind of power that his father held when he was a Hall of Fame GM in Green Bay.

After working for the Packers organization for 14 seasons, Wolf brings a Green Bay-inspired influence to New England.

“My time in Green Bay meant everything,” Wolf said. “That’s where I learned my foundation of scouting, leadership, how to treat people, how to deal with people. Really just everything in terms of the business of football. It’s prepared me for this moment to help the New England Patriots get back to where we need to go.”

Under Bill Belichick’s direction, the Patriots followed what was referred to as the “Patriot Way” over the previous 20 years.

Now, with new leadership in place, that is evolving.

Wolf stated, “I think the Packer approach is just kind of a draft and develop, extend your core performers from within.” “And once more, it’s about treating people with respect, honesty, and dignity.”
