The New England Patriots have a new wide receivers coach, but even with the change, Troy Brown will remain on the staff. Patriots coach Jerod Mayo confirmed the news during Wednesday’s introductory press conference for the team’s new coaching staff.
A change felt inevitable given the way the Patriots’ receivers have struggled in recent years. So the team moved to hire former offensive assistant Tyler Hughes for the job. Hughes has extensive experience with his last stop being in quality control of the offense at the University of Washington.
There has been no confirmation as of yet on what Brown’s new role with the Patriots will be.
