After the Detroit Lions promoted Kelvin Sheppard to their defensive coordinator role, the coaching staff dominos continue to fall. The Lions are reportedly promoting assistant linebacker coach Shaun Dion Hamilton to linebackers coach, per Matt Zenitz of CBSSports/247Sports.
Hamilton played his college football at Alabama and was drafted in the sixth round of the 2018 NFL Draft by the Washington Commanders. After three seasons, he was released and claimed off waivers by the Lions. Hamilton performed well in camp and looked like he was headed for a spot on the 2021 roster but was injured and missed the season.
