The Detroit Lions have added three new front office assistants to the team. All three will work in the scouting and analytics department, and two of them are familiar faces.
The new hires:
- Caio Brighenti, analytics assistant
- Michael Pelfrey, analytics assistant
- Ademi Smith, scouting assistant
Brighenti is best-known for creating the NFL Draft boo-meter that appeared on social media during the draft. It tracked the fan reaction to the picks in real-time. He’s one of the few Brazilians now in the NFL.
Pelfrey has been an intern in the Lions’ analytics department for the past two seasons. He now joins Brighenti as full-time members of the growing front office division.
Smith has also been an intern with the Lions over the past seasons, including in training camp last summer. He was most recently a scout with the Shrine Bowl.
