Biography
Now enjoying his 28th season with the Packers and 45th in the NFL, Danny Mock is responsible for a variety of scouting services as the team's college scouting coordinator. Mock's duties include tracking Green Bay's scouts who scour the country looking for players and coordinating all-star, combine and draft meetings.
Mock gained his first NFL experience as a member of the Atlanta Falcons' grounds crew from 1980-85. In addition to his duties on the field, Mock served as a film assistant from 1983-86. Following three seasons in the film department, the NFL moved to video and Mock was promoted to assistant video director by the Falcons in 1986.
After serving two years in that capacity, Mock turned to the player personnel side of football. For the following nine seasons (1988-96), he acted as the administrative assistant in the Falcons' player personnel department.
Having lived in the South his entire life, Mock headed north when he was named the Packers' college scouting coordinator on June 28, 1997, by then-Executive Vice President/General Manager Ron Wolf.

During his sophomore basketball season, Mock was a teammate of 1980 Heisman Trophy winner George Rogers, who later would go on to star in football at the University of South Carolina and play seven seasons in the NFL. Mock also was elected team captain in basketball for his senior season, leading the school to the state quarterfinals.
Mock is a member of the National Football Foundation and the Wisconsin Football Coaches Association (WFCA), acting as the Packers' liaison to the latter organization. He was honored by the WFCA in 2008, when he was awarded the Dave McClain Distinguished Service Award for his outstanding service to football in Wisconsin and again in 2011 as an inductee into the WFCA Hall of Fame. In 2024, he begins his 21st year serving as the video cameraman for the De Pere (Wis.) High School football team.
