Ziegler enters his first season as Assistant General Manager for the Titans after being hired in January 2025.

Ziegler arrives in Tennessee with 15 years of NFL personnel experience. He served as General Manager for the Las Vegas Raiders from 2022-2023 and spent the 2024 season as Senior Personnel Advisor for the New Orleans Saints.

Ziegler broke into the NFL with the Denver Broncos in 2010. While in Denver, he assisted in the scouting and evaluation process of pro and college players, departing after the 2012 season as a pro scout. Ziegler then headed to the New England Patriots, where he was the Assistant Director of Pro Personnel (2013-15), Director of Pro Personnel (2016-19), Assistant Director of Player Personnel (2020) and Director of Player Personnel (2021). During his nine seasons (2013-21) with New England, the Patriots won seven division titles, advanced to six conference championship games and claimed three Super Bowl (XLIX, LI, LIII) titles.

As General Manager in Las Vegas, Ziegler led the Raiders' acquisition of wide receiver Davante Adams via trade with Green Bay during the 2022 offseason. That season, Adams was selected to the Pro Bowl and named first-team All-Pro, finishing with 100 receptions for 1,516 yards and a league-high 14 scores. In Ziegler's first draft as general manager, the Raiders selected offensive guard Dylan Parham in the third round. Parham was named to the PFWA All-Rookie Team after starting 17 games on an offensive line that helped Raiders running back Josh Jacobs lead the league with 1,653 rushing yards.

Before entering the NFL, Ziegler enjoyed a high school and college coaching career with stops at Chaparral High School in Scottsdale, Ariz., as special teams coordinator, at Iona College as a wide receivers and special teams coach, and at his alma mater, John Carroll University, serving in the same role.

A native of Tallmadge, Ohio, Ziegler was an accomplished wide receiver and returner at John Carroll University. He holds several program records including career return yards, return average and return touchdowns.
