One of the biggest changes the Tennessee Titans made this offseason was hiring Mike Borgonzi as their new general manager. Borgonzi was arguably the best candidate available, and he is already bringing some changes to the front office.
Borgonzi got his NFL start in 2009 with the Kansas City Chiefs and has spent the last 16 years working his way up the ladder within the organization. During that time, he took on a vital role in the construction of their Super Bowl-winning roster, something the Titans need now more than ever.
His former employer with the Chiefs, Brett Veach, continues to be a huge fan of the move for the Titans. During the opening festivities at the Super Bowl, Titans reporter Jim Wyatt caught up with him and asked him about Borgonzi.

“He’s a guy that I think should have been a GM a long time ago,” Veach said. “We were fortunate, we got to keep him inside the organization. But, you’re gonna be thrilled to death with the way he conducts himself and the way he puts that roster together.”
Borgonzi is known as an experienced personnel man and talent evaluator at both the college and pro level. His connections throughout the league should also help open doors with both players and organizations across the NFL.
“We’re still gonna be talking, almost every week, I’m sure.” He said as he finished up.
The question is whether Borgonzi can come in and help transform the Titans in the same way the Chiefs have been transformed from No. 1 pick to the Super Bowl champions. Even though the process has just started, Titans fans should be optimistic for the future of the organization, as it sounds like it is in good hands.
