New York Giants hire Freddie Roach as defensive line coach

Error 0:

The New York Giants have hired a slew of assistant coaches on Monday, including defensive line coach, Freddie Roach, who overlapped with Joe Judge while at Alabama some time ago.

The former Ole Miss All-SEC player helped the two interior defenders for Miss excel.

Last season, Josiah Coatney (63) and Qaadir Sheppard (48) combined for 111 tackles and three forced fumbles. Sheppard produced a season-high 10.0 tackles for loss, while Markel Winters (4.0) and Benito Jones (3.0) paced the Rebels in sacks.

He will bring his talents to a Giants team with a firm interior defensive presence, including Dexter Lawrence, Leonard Williams (possibly), BJ Hill, and Dalvin Tomlinson.
