The New England Patriots reportedly hired Jeremy Springer as their special teams coordinator Wednesday, filling the second of three open coordinator positions under Jerod Mayo.
Springer’s addition to the Patriots’ staff seemingly checks a lot of boxes Mayo is looking for, as well.
It was made abundantly clear in Mayo’s introductory press conference that he wanted to hire coaches who could build relationships with players. He wants “developers” who can relate to players and bring positive energy into the building.
That sounds a lot like what Springer wants to do.
