Officiating crews for the 2014 season

The NFL officiating crews for the 2014 season

Published

on

NFL_Shield_mark_rgbFootball Zebras has obtained the officiating crew rosters for the 2014 NFL season have been distributed. As we reported previously, 13 new officials have been hired in the offseason.

In addition, with the retirements of Scott Green and Ron Winter, the NFL has promoted side judge Ronald Torbert and field judge Craig Wrolstad to the referee position. Torbert will be the successor to Winter, having two of Winter’s five remaining crew members; Wrolstad is Green’s successor on paper, as all six crew members come from different crews, and none were from Green’s crew. Brad Allen was elevated to referee after the late resignation of Mike Carey, and mostly inherited the crew Carey would have had.

Each crew member is listed with his years of experience, including the upcoming season, and his 2013 crew if he switched crews. (We will update this post with the replay officials and video assistants when we have confirmation.)
