The New England Patriots have circled through multiple wide receiver coaches over the last few seasons. The latest to join the group is Todd Downing, who is reportedly joining the team to fill the position held by Tyler Hughes and his assistant Tiquan Underwood in 2024.
Downing is a new arrival in New England, but he brings a common background with head coach Mike Vrabel: both coached alongside one another with the Tennessee Titans from 2019 to 2022. Downing served as Vrabel’s tight ends coach and offensive coordinator for two seasons each, before departing the team in 2023 to join the New York Jets.
