The New England Patriots have their guy on special teams.
On Wednesday morning, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported the team was hiring former Los Angeles Rams assistant Jeremy Springer as their new special teams coordinator. This move would officially bring an end to Cameron Achord’s run in New England.
Springer cut his teeth mostly on the collegiate level with previous work at UTEP, Texas A&M, Arizona and Marshall. While in Los Angeles, he worked as a special teams assistant coach under Sean McVay.
The Rams were ranked dead last on special teams by DVOA last season, which obviously isn’t a good look.
