DeMarcus Covington, who had been with the New England Patriots since 2017, will not be back with the organization this season. After serving as the team’s defensive coordinator in 2024, the 35-year-old has joined the Green Bay Packers as their new defensive line coach.
Covington worked several jobs after joining the Patriots. Originally arriving as a coaching assistant, he was later promoted to outside linebackers coach and also worked with the defensive line. Head coach Jerod Mayo promoted him to his most recent role, but the unit he oversaw struggled en route to a 4-13 record and Mayo getting fired.
