Joe Judge was responsible for special teams and wide receivers this past season with the Patriots, making it significant he is retaining two assistants off Pat Shurmur’s staff from those position groups.
Tyke Tolbert, the popular wide receivers coach, will be retained by Judge, according to an NFL Network Report. Tolbert replied on Twitter to this report by tweeting “#Grateful”.
Thomas McGaughey, the popular special teams coordinator on Shurmur’s staff, is also coming back.
Tolbert in 2019 often had to work with a patchwork group of receivers, as suspension and injuries made it a challenge to put the same players on the field on a week-to-week basis.
