The Bears added another key member to new head coach Matt Nagy’s staff Saturday with the hiring of Kevin Gilbride as tight ends coach.
Gilbride, 38, has spent the last eight seasons with the New York Giants, including the last four as their tight ends coach.
In New York, he demonstrated a knack to develop young players. Last season, Evan Engram led all NFL rookie tight ends in receptions (64) and yards (722) and tied for first in touchdown catches (six). Engram also led the Giants in receptions and touchdown catches and finished second in receiving yards.
