Michael Ross, SPM '08

Sport Management '08, Area Scout, Atlanta Falcons

After graduation, I had a decision to make with two internship opportunities: Atlanta Falcons or Buffalo Bills. I picked Atlanta and I haven't looked back.

I am approaching my 10th season with the Falcons and have held various positions, including training camp intern, seasonal personnel assistant, scouting assistant, pro scout and area scout.

This is my third season covering schools in the Southwest, a region that covers Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas and Nebraska. Prior to the Southwest, I covered the Midwest (two seasons) and Northeast (two seasons) on the college side of personnel and then one season as a pro scout.

My role as an area scout is to be an expert in my area and gain as much information as I can for upper management. I have been fortunate to attend the Super Bowl and I look forward to finally bringing the Lombardi Trophy home to Atlanta!
