He absolutely knows those Hall of Famers, and offers some background that Fitterer is putting to good use.
Bradway scouted 13 games last fall near his New Jersey home, mostly home games at Maryland, Navy, Temple, and Rutgers. But that gave him in-person access to see Ohio State, Wisconsin, Boston College, and Cincinnati, giving him a chance to see some of the same prospects who are at the Senior Bowl this week. But he also did some film work, including filing a report on Pickett, perhaps this year's top quarterback prospect. Bradway will also be back in Charlotte in a few weeks when they gather for scouting meetings to set the board for this year's draft.
Beyond having a veteran perspective on scouting matters, Bradway's experience as an executive has been helpful to Fitterer as he navigates into his second year on the job.
"He's been great for me, just talking through things and how to deal with different situations in the building," Fitterer said. "Because being a GM is not just a football job. You realize how much of it is about budgeting, how much of it is about problem-solving, and dealing with the other aspects of the building. He's been great, because anyone who's been through that and dealt with that and he can talk you through it, and he can also teach you about carving time out to do football."
Fitterer said one thing Bradway taught him was the importance of communicating throughout the entire operation, encouraging him to have regular meetings with heads of different departments in hopes of having the organization on one page.
"When I talked to Scott about meeting with the directors on a regular basis, it was a way to connect to the entire building," Bradway said. "If you're going to say we're all in this together, you're going to have to show it. It was good and everybody felt like they were involved in it."
Bradway doesn't mind sharing this kind of knowledge, as he admits he wished he'd have known more about it when he took the Jets job. Scouts aren't necessarily programmed for collaboration, but GMs often have to be facilitators first, evaluators second.
"There's not a lot of tangible results when you're a GM some days," Bradway said. "When you're a scout, you watch film, you go back to the hotel room, you write a report, you send it in, and I accomplished something today. When you're a GM, you might say, what did I do today? You probably did a lot, but it's not something you can grab onto, and all these other people are having fun, doing what you used to.
"It's a hell of a challenge. But Scott's a really good man, and he's smart, and he works hard. People on the road, they get reputations, some are good and some are bad, but his has always been really good. I'm just excited, with him and Dan (Morgan, the Panthers' assistant GM), there's a lot of good strong people in that building."
