Team rosters aren’t the only things in flux now that the NFL Draft is in the books.

This is the season for shuffling in personnel departments as well.

According to Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press, Vikings director of college scouting Scott Studwell has stepped down after 12 years on the job.

He’ll remain with the team in some role, but will be replaced by assistant director of college scouting Jamaal Stephenson.

The 59-year-old Studwell is one of the team’s most decorated players, as the former linebacker’s in their Ring of Honor after playing for them from 1977-90.
