The New England Patriots have reportedly hired Green Bay Packers former defensive line coach and run game coordinator Jerry Montgomery to their coaching staff.
ESPN’s Rob Demovsky reported the news on Monday.
Montgomery has spent the last nine seasons working in Green Bay, which means he has ties with Patriots director of scouting Eliot Wolf, who some believe is the frontrunner to take over as the Patriots’ next general manager. That’s an interesting nugget right off the bat in regards to this recent hire.
Montgomery joins the team after former Patriots defensive line coach DeMarcus Covington was promoted to defensive coordinator.
