Jets hire former Bears scout as college scouting director

General manager Mike Maccagnan made another key hire Thursday in his rebuilt front office, naming former Chicago Bears scout Rex Hogan the senior director of college scouting for the New York Jets.

Hogan replaces longtime front-office executive Terry Bradway, who was fired recently.

Hogan has spent his entire NFL career with the Bears. He started as a college scout in 2003 under former Bears GM Jerry Angelo and was bumped up to national scout in 2012. As a national scout, he was responsible for the West region.

Before the NFL, Hogan worked on the college level at Notre Dame and Utah, dealing with recruiting and football operations.

Hogan became the Jets' second front-office addition this week. Previously, they hired Brian Heimerdinger as the director of player personnel.
