Welcome into Thor Talks Purple. It is a mock draft Monday edition of Thor Talks Purple and we will be mocking at the end of this episode. But AJ, we have to spend most of it talking about the Vikings new general manager, Nolan Teasley.
Yeah, absolutely. I I was gonna jump on here and say, Hey, anything uh major happened over the weekend for you? What are we gonna do? What are we gonna do? But you beat me to the punch in our text conversation yesterday. Uh yeah, the the Vikings, of course uh on Saturday. Have hired Nolan Teasley as their new general manager. Sources tell NFL Networks Tom Pelcero on Saturday, concluding their unusual chapter for the franchise, where they went without a GM and Rob Berzinski oversaw the draft process and everything like that over this uh portion of the offseason. But now cementing that new GM position, Nolan Teasley. I don't think we can uh maybe beat around the bush too much. Let's just get right into it, Thor.
I have I I I'll preface this. You have gone deep into the woods, deep into the weeds, and you know His, you know, you know if he's a Capricorn, you know what he likes to to wind down the night with. I have almost purposely stayed away so we can do this sort of you educate me about exactly who Nolan Teasley is over the past twenty uh forty-eight-ish hours. Um, what can you tell me? Who is he? What's his bio? What's his background? What should people know first and foremost?
Yeah, big time football guy here. And that's sort of the theme of this hire is going back to the the pure football guy. But Nolan Teasley, he's been with the Seahawks since two thousand and thirteen. Uh so spent thirteen full years with the Seahawks, started out as an intern, you know, and just worked his way up. Um and and eventually, of course, getting to assistant general manager uh the post he was in the last four years, but initially promoted to pro personnel scout in twenty fourteen. Then assistant director of pro personnel. Then he was the director of pro personnel for the longer stretch for five years leading up to his ascension to assistant general manager, where he wildly impressed here at the last couple years in that post.
We know that previously he was involved with a lot of stuff that had to do with free agency and scouting on the pro side. These last couple years, becoming the assistant.
