Ben Jacobs may no longer be a member of the Carolina Panthers active roster, but he will continue to be with the organization in another capacity. Tuesday, it was announced that the linebacker and special teams standout would take on the position of assistant special teams coach as reported by Joe Person of The Athletic.
Jacobs can certainly find a niche here. He will be replacing coach Heath Farwell who left the Panthers in the offseason to take the role of special teams coordinator with the Buffalo Bills. This will also be a reunion of sorts for Jacobs as he will report to special teams coordinator Chase Blackburn.
