The Browns secured a highly respected defensive backs coach by hiring DeWayne Walker.
Former Browns safety Tashaun Gipson let the cat out the bag Friday when he wrote on Twitter, "Cleveland got a legit one! Congrats coach Walk!! Major!!"
A person familiar with the situation confirmed Walker is the team's new defensive backs coach. The Browns have yet to announce the move.
Walker, 56, spent the past four years as the defensive backs coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars, who signed Gipson as an unrestricted free agent last year.
New Jaguars coach Doug Marrone recently fired Walker and several other defensive assistants who were under contract through the 2017 season.
