The New York Jets coaching staff has the great opportunity of coaching the Senior Bowl.
Head coach Robert Saleh and offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur were a part of the 2019 San Francisco 49ers coaching staff that coached the Senior Bowl. There, the 49ers coaches had the chance to work closely with South Carolina wide receiver Deebo Samuel, who eventually became San Francisco’s early second-round selection.
Samuel has become one of the most prolific young players in the league. Getting a chance to work with Samuel at the Senior Bowl certainly helped the 49ers make their decision to select him.
