2007 Bio Info
Jon-Eric Sullivan in 2007 begins his fourth season as a college scout for the Packers. Sullivan serves as the team's representative to the National Football Scouting Combine and authors evaluations of all prospective seniors in the Southwest region.

Sullivan joined the team's football operations department July 12, 2004, having previously served as a scouting intern with the Packers during the team's 2003 training camp.

The 31-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 at which Packers director of college scouting John Dorsey matriculated. Sullivan was an all-state receiver as a senior and all-state as a defensive back his junior year, pacing state players the latter year with nine interceptions. 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 of 2000, and then worked three years (2001-04) for GMAC's sales and credit administration departments before joining the Packers' staff. His father is Jerry Sullivan, the San Francisco 49ers' receivers coach and a 15-year NFL coaching veteran.

Born in Columbia, S.C., Sullivan married the former Jennifer Hoener in June, 2006. The couple resides in De Pere, Wis. His hobbies include travel and working out.
