The sport management major served as an operations intern with the National Football League organization.
Chloe Hach ’22, a sport management major, spent her summer with the Browns as an operations intern, working daily within the NFL organization gathering coaches’ film and supporting players and staff.
Hach’s internship was the byproduct of Oli Udoh’s pro day, which led to the Elon graduate getting selected in the sixth round of the NFL draft by the Minnesota Vikings. During the May 20 event on campus, Hach made the right connection – and, most importantly, stayed in contact.
“There was a scout from the Browns there, and I had been working with Elon football at the time,” Hach said. “Of course, being from Cleveland and a Browns fan, I started talking with him and we’ve stayed in contact ever since. I knew I had a lot to learn and knew he could help me gain more overall knowledge about the game.”
The scout’s name was Gerald McCully, and he was impressed with Hach’s work ethic during the pro day. At Elon, Hach relied heavily on the Student Professional Development Center to prepare her resumé and practice her interview skills to secure the summer position.
Hach’s role placed her on the sideline for team workouts throughout training camp, where she helped film coaches’ video of the O-line every day – a responsibility she thoroughly enjoyed and learned a great deal from. Another highlight for Hach was the opportunity to work with Callie Brownson, the organization’s chief of staff and the first female to hold the role in the NFL.
“Working with Callie was probably the most impactful part of my summer,” Hach said. “She’s has so much experience and being able to learn and observe from her was amazing.
