Football had already been a central part of Berry's life. Aside from being a college receiver, Berry's father, Drew, grew up in Texas, where football was "religion." With his brother being in the industry since college, football was always a defining part of Berry's relationship with his family.
After 14 years on Wall Street, Berry was officially hired as the Eagles' director of football operations and strategy. Berry's familiarity with numbers helped him transition into an NFL front office, working with the salary cap, contracts, and analytics. Roseman expected Berry to learn everything behind football operations, including college scouting, pro scouting, and player development.
"I'm incredibly grateful that he's been my boss and that he's such a visionary and so open-minded and so creative," Berry said of Roseman. "Being around him and working with him, it's really hard not to pick up some of those things and those awesome qualities."
Berry was promoted to assistant general manager this offseason in just his third year with the organization. Roseman is known to look for leaders from different backgrounds to be part of the organization. To Berry, that's "part of the beauty."
"It allows us to prevent groupthink," Berry said. "And you can get to the best solutions possible because everyone's coming from different perspectives and different experiences.
"A lot of my role is being able to work across multiple departments, being able to take the information and take the analysis that we're doing in a bunch of different verticals and use that and bring it all together to support Howie as a decision-maker."
With Andrew as the general manager of the Cleveland Browns and Adam as the Eagles' assistant general manager, Berry concedes that [it can get a little competitive between the two at times](https://www.philadelphiaeagles.com/news/spadaro-adam-berry-hopes-to-have-the-last-laugh-over-twin-brother-browns-gm-andrew-this-sunday). But overall, the former Wall Street executive is enjoying the experience for himself.
"At some point you're standing on the sideline pregame and you're like, 'I'm at work right now,'" Berry said. "You just think about how fortunate and how lucky you are that I get to watch football as part of my job for a living. That's something that I will never take for granted because I think it really is truly special." – Written by Caroline Connor
