Eagles promote Connor Barwin to important organizational position

The Philadelphia Eagles announced a slew of organizational changes Friday afternoon, including the promotion of a former fan favorite to a key role.

As noted by Mike Kaye of Pro Football Network, Connor Barwin has been promoted to director of player development. Barwin had been a special assistant to general manager Howie Roseman since January of 2020.

A second-round pick by the Houston Texans in the 2009 NFL Draft, the Eagles signed Barwin, an outside linebacker, to a six-year/$36 million deal that guaranteed him $8 million prior to the 2013 season. Barwin ultimately spent four seasons with the Eagles, recording 31 1/2 sacks and 24 pass deflections in midnight green. Barwin was a Pro Bowler and second-team All-Pro with the Eagles in 2014, when he posted a career-high 14 1/2 sacks.

After being released by the Eagles in March of 2017, Barwin played two more seasons in the league, spending a season with the Los Angeles Rams and one with the New York Giants.

Still only 35, Barwin now appears on his way to having a very successful career as an executive.

This type of article is useless. Everyone knows the titles but no one outside of the Eagles know what the jobs actually are. 

If the writer know what a director of player development is it would have been included in the artilcle.
