The Washington Redskins have promoted Alex Santos to director of pro personnel.

Santos will fill the void of Morocco Brown, who accepted a position last week with the Cleveland Browns.

Santos joined the Redskins in 2006, originally as a pro personnel assistant. He has worked as a pro scout for the organization for the last six seasons. His responsibilities involved helping with the evaluation of potential NFL and Canadian Football League free agents, and scouting the Redskins upcoming opponents while reporting to Brown.
