Talent Scout
"Like Carroll Huntress, Royer now serves exclusively as a Jets' scout after a stint in the Galaxy combine. He has been in coaching or scouting since 1958 when he started as a Marine football team head coach on Okinawa.
Royer coached the offensive line for the U.S. Naval Academy junior varsity from 1959-61. He went to [the University of] Buffalo as offensive line coach (1961-62) and then spent time at Tulane before returning to the Naval Academy as assistant offensive line coach (1965-66). Jim worked one year as offensive line coach at the University of Pittsburgh before joining the Atlantic Coast League as defensive coordinator of the Richmond Roadrunners in 1969.
He came to the NFL in 1971 as offensive line coach with the New Orleans Saints. In 1973 he became a scout for the Redskins and joined Galaxy in 1974.
Jim was born in Baltimore, Maryland."
