Kaye is perhaps best known for attempting to convince the Jets to draft Tom Brady prior to the 2000 NFL Draft.
“First of all, was in the 190s and like 6-4. So he was very thin,” Haley added. “He didn’t run fast at all. And Henson was considered to be a big-time player. I saw a game early and Brady didn’t play at all. But it was a matter of going in and digging out and finding the guy.”
Three years ago, ESPN’s Rich Cimini added that former Jets executive Mike Tannenbaum — who held various roles in the organization from 1997-2012, including general manager and senior vice president of football operations from 2006 until the end of his run — said Kaye “loved” Brady and projected him as a “great player.”
Kaye was originally hired by the Packers in May 1989 to work as an administrative assistant to coach Lindy Infante and as a pro scout in player personnel, according to the Packers’ website.He eventually became the Packers’ scouting director in January 1992 and was subsequently hired as a college scout for the Jets in August 1994.
Kaye, who also worked for the Steelers and BLESTO scouting in the 1980s, retired from the Jets organization in 2014.
