Eric Stokes (born December 18, 1973) is an American football scout and executive. He played college football for the Nebraska Cornhuskers, winning two National championships prior to being drafted by the Seattle Seahawks in the fifth round of the 1997 NFL Draft.[1] He played safety for them for two seasons and was selected by the Cleveland Browns in the 1999 expansion draft before suffering an injury and retiring.
In 2000, Stokes rejoined the Seahawks as a scout and worked in other personnel roles with them for a decade. He held other executive roles with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Miami Dolphins, and Carolina Panthers throughout the 2010s.[2] In 2020, Stokes was named director of pro personnel for the Washington Football Team and was promoted to senior director of player personnel the following year.[3][4] His contract was not renewed for the 2024 season.[5]
