Former Giants, Raiders G Kevin Boothe Interviewing For Front Office Jobs

Former NFL guard Kevin Boothe had an impressive career in the NFL. Coming out of the Ivy League to the NFL as a sixth-round pick in 2006, Boothe spent nine years in the NFL as an interior lineman for the Raiders and Giants. Following his final year as a player, Boothe went to work in the NFL league office in New York. Now, after establishing himself as one of the league’s hot, young executives, Boothe is starting to get some interest for front office jobs around the league.

In Boothe’s nine-year playing career, he started 62 of his 114 game appearances. A Cornell graduate already, Boothe decided to keep pushing forward in his education while still playing in the NFL. When presented with the opportunity to earn an MBA over the course of two seasons at George Washington University, Boothe took it, keeping his post-playing career in mind. Shortly after ending his playing career following the 2014 season, Boothe began a business development internship at the NFL league office.

It didn’t take long for Boothe to move up the ladder. By 2017, he was named manager, football operations strategy and business development. Two years later, he became director, football development. Currently, he serves the league as director, management council. He also participated in the league’s front office accelerator program in 2022.

Now that he’s displayed his ability to succeed in an executive setting, it appears that Boothe is setting his sights on working with a team again. According to Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports, Boothe was interviewed by three different teams this offseason for high-ranking front office jobs. At 40 years old, he still has plenty of time to find a path towards a role as a top front office executive with an NFL team.

Boothe earned an Ivy League degree while playing football at Cornell then continued his education by earning an MBA during his NFL career. He has nine years of NFL playing experience and almost eight more working as an executive for the league. He even has firsthand knowledge of what a Super Bowl-winning team looks like after earning two rings with the Giants. While Boothe may not have gotten hired in a new job this offseason, don’t be surprised if his name appears in the running for a high-ranking front office gig next year.
