The Detroit Lions GM search committee confirmed they interviewed two more candidates for the team’s vacancy on Wednesday. The Lions formally interviewed George Paton and Brad Holmes.
Paton is the current vice president of player personnel and assistant general manager for the Minnesota Vikings. Holmes is the director of collegiate scouting for the Los Angeles Rams.
The Lions are not the only team pursuing either candidate. Holmes has already interviewed with the Atlanta Falcons, while Paton has an interview lined up with the Denver Broncos.
Paton has worked under Vikings GM Rick Spielman for over a decade. Spielman’s brother, Chris, is heavily involved in the interviewing and decision-making process for the Lions.
