Zach Devlin is in his ninth season with the Cardinals and fifth as an area scout after getting promoted in May, 2021.
Devlin originally joined the team's scouting department in June, 2017. After working as a scouting assistant in 2017, he was promoted and spent three years (2018-20) as the Cardinals representative with the National Football Scouting service.
Following the 2025 NFL Draft, Devlin was the recipient of the team's "Rod Graves College Scouting Award." The award was created in honor of the former Cardinals general manager and is given to the team's top scout based off of analytics and draft grade accuracy.
He played collegiately at Bryant University where he served as a long snapper for the Bulldogs. Due to injury, he spent the 2014 season as a student-coach, part-time equipment manager and film assistant. In that role, Devlin contributed to the weekly game plan and scouted opponents' defensive personnel.
His father, Mike, played seven seasons (1993-99) in the NFL, including his final four years in Arizona, where he began his coaching career as an offensive quality control (2000) and assistant offensive line (2001-03) coach with the Cardinals. He is currently the offensive line coach with the Los Angeles Chargers. Devlin's grandfather, John, coached linebackers for the Houston Oilers from 1984-85.
Devlin graduated from Bryant with a bachelor's degree in Business Administration Management in 2017.
