Broncos name Darren Mougey Director of Player Personnel

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — The Denver Broncos have named Darren Mougey Director of Player Personnel, General Manager George Paton announced on Friday.

In his role, Mougey will oversee the day-to-day operations of the pro and college scouting departments, working directly with Paton on all player personnel decisions.

“Darren is an outstanding evaluator who has an excellent reputation around the league as an up-and-coming personnel executive,” Paton said. “Getting to work with Darren over the last five months, he is a strong communicator and has great leadership qualities. We’re fortunate to have Darren leading our pro and college scouting while also being a sounding board on all roster decisions.”

Entering his 10th season with the Broncos, Mougey has worked in a variety of scouting roles for the club since being hired in 2012. He most recently worked as the team’s Assistant Director of College Scouting in 2020.

Mougey has scouted the Western region for the Broncos during the last five years. Before being promoted to Assistant Director of College Scouting, he served as Western Regional Scout (2017-19) and Western Area Scout (2016).

Hired as a personnel intern by the Broncos in 2012, Mougey has also worked as a Personnel/Scouting Assistant (2013), College/Pro Personnel Scout (2014) and Southwest Area Scout (2015). He began his post-playing career as an offensive assistant as his alma mater Chaparral High School (Scottsdale, Ari.) in 2011.

Prior to joining the Broncos, Mougey competed in NFL training camps as a wide receiver with the Atlanta Falcons (2009) and Arizona Cardinals (2010). A four-year letterman and a team captain at San Diego State University, he played wideout during his final two collegiate seasons after converting from quarterback.

Mougey prepped at Chaparral High School where he was a highly-touted quarterback prospect. He graduated from San Diego State with a bachelor’s degree in business.
