Joe Jon Finley, a two-time All-Big 12 and former NFL tight end, is in his first season on Baylor’s operations staff handling offensive quality control. His responsibilities include film breakdown and game-planning for opponents with statistics and tendencies.

Following a standout career at Oklahoma, Finley spent parts of four seasons with the San Francisco 49ers (2008 and 2009 practice squads) and Detroit Lions (2010 practice squad and 2011 active roster).
