Former Lions defensive backs coach and passing game coordinator Aubrey Benson did not have to wait long to find his next gig. Less than a month after being fired by the Lions, Pleasant has resurfaced with the Green Bay Packers.
Per ESPN’s Rob Demovsky, Pleasant joined Green Bay last week in an unspecified offensive role with the Packers. Yes, offensive.
Pleasant, a former cornerback, has almost exclusively coached defense in his NFL tenure. He did spend one season on the Washington offensive staff shortly after his playing career ended.
Pleasant, known for his hands-on coaching style, coached the Detroit DBs for the first half of 2022 and all of 2021.
