The New York Giants are reportedly hiring Illinois assistant linebackers coach Grant Morgan to be part of their defensive coaching staff. Morgan’s exact role on the staff is not yet known.
Morgan spent the last two seasons working under Illinois head coach Bret Bielema. Bielema was outside linebackers coach for the Giants in 2020 as part of Joe Judge’s coaching staff.
Morgan played for the Arkansas Razorbacks when Bielema was head coach there, beginning his career as a preferred walk-on in 2016.
Morgan spent six seasons at Arkansas and recorded 313 career tackles.
