Jon-Eric Sullivan begins his ninth season as a college scout for the Packers in 2012, and his fifth as an area scout. Sullivan previously served as the team’s National Football Scouting representative to the annual NFL Scouting Combine and authored evaluations of all prospective seniors in the Southwest region, a role since filled by Mike Owen.
Sullivan joined the team’s football operations department on July 12, 2004, having previously served as a scouting intern during the team’s 2003 training camp.
The 36-year-old Sullivan played his junior and senior seasons (1998-99) as a wide receiver at Gardner-Webb University in Boiling Springs, N.C. As a senior, he was named to the all-conference team after leading the Bulldogs with 43 receptions. Previously, he played at the University of South Carolina from 1995-97 before transferring to Gardner-Webb.
Sullivan attended high school at Fork Union (Va.) Military Academy, the same institution from which Packers director-football operations John Dorsey matriculated. Sullivan was an all-state defensive back his junior year, pacing state players with nine interceptions, and then an all-state receiver as a senior. Sullivan lettered twice in football, while also receiving two letters each in indoor and outdoor track. As a senior, he was all-state in track as a member of the state champion 400-meter relay team.
Following his college football career, Sullivan served as a student-assistant receivers coach at Gardner-Webb for one season. Though officially listed as a student-assistant, he actually served as the primary position coach for the receivers.
Sullivan obtained a B.A. degree in social science from Gardner-Webb in December 2000, and then worked three years (2001-04) for GMAC’s sales and credit administration departments before joining the Packers’ staff.
His father, Jerry Sullivan, who has over 40 years of coaching experience, is currently the receivers coach for the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Born Aug. 10, 1976, in Columbia, S.C., Sullivan and his wife, Jennifer, reside in Austin, Texas, with their infant daughter, Samantha. His hobbies include traveling and working out.
