Philadelphia Eagles director of scouting Brandon Hunt interviewed Tuesday for the New England Patriots' lead personnel job, according to a report.

Three other candidates declined to interview with the Patriots -- Buffalo Bills director of player personnel Terrance Gray, former Arizona Cardinals vice president of player personnel Quentin Harris and Cincinnati Bengals senior personnel executive Trey Brown.

Patriots director of scouting Eliot Wolf has served as the de facto General Manager since Bill Belichick's departure earlier this offseason, and his expected candidacy for the job could explain the interview rejections.
