As part of changes to the Senior Bowl setup in 2022, the head coaches of the two NFL teams selected to work the event will serve in advisory roles, while elevating multiple members of their staff to serve in more significant capacities for the week of practice and next Saturday's game.
On Friday, it was announced Lions running backs assistant Duce Staley will serve as the head coach of the American Team next week in Mobile, Ala., while defensive backs coach Aubrey Pleasant and tight ends coach Ben Johnson will be Staley's defensive and offensive coordinators.
“We as a staff are excited to hit the ground running at the Senior Bowl," Staley said in a statement.
