Dean Blandino, the NFL officiating director who has overseen rule changes that emphasized player safety, is leaving the league. Blandino joined the NFL in 1994 as an intern and moved through the ranks. ”Dean has done an outstanding job leading our officiating department,” Troy Vincent, the league’s executive vice president of football operations, said Friday after informing the 32 teams of Blandino’s decision.
