What do we know about Darren Mougey, the new New York Jets GM?

Following a lengthy interviewing process that apparently involved 15 potential candidates, it appears that the New York Jets have finally got their man in Darren Mougey.

The 39-year-old Mougey, moves from the Denver Broncos where he has worked since 2012 and was assistant general manager the past three seasons. The Scottsdale (AZ) native will become the NFL’s third youngest GM.

New faces at New York

“Darren is a trusted NFL executive who has experience working with an impressive collection of football leaders,” Jets Chairman Woody Johnson said. “He is a proven talent evaluator who impressed us with his vision for this team. His partnership with Coach Glenn will revitalize this organization. I am proud of the thorough search we undertook and that it led us to the two best individuals to lead our football team going forward.”

Mougey’s hiring comes in the same week the Jets hired Aaron Glenn as their new head coach. New York just finished a 5-12 season in which they missed the playoffs for the 14th straight season.

“It is one of the great honors and privileges of my life to serve as the general manager of the New York Jets,” Mougey said. “I want to thank Mr. Johnson for this responsibility, one I do not take lightly. I could not be more excited to work alongside Coach Glenn to build a championship team that will make Jets fans proud.”
