The Patriots are down one more coach, as Patrick Graham is headed to New York to join the Giants as their new defensive line coach, according to a source.
Graham was most recently the linebackers coach the past two seasons, mentoring stars Jamie Collins and Dont’a Hightower. Before that he served as the defensive line coach. In all, the Yale graduate, who is 37, was with the Patriots for seven seasons.
There was talk of him possibly being the next in line to take over as the defensive coordinator in New England if Matt Patricia were to land a head coaching job elsewhere.
