Hall of Famer Kevin Greene named Jets outside linebackers coach

The Jets have added a Hall of Famer to their staff.

According to Sporting News, coach Todd Bowles has hired Kevin Greene as his outside linebackers coach.

Greene, a two-time first team All-Pro, has the third-most sacks (160) in NFL history. A former fifth-round pick of the Los Angeles Rams in 1985, he went on to be named the Defensive Player of the Year in 1996 and was a five-time Pro Bowler. During his 15-year career, he also played for the Pittsburgh Steelers, Carolina Panthers and San Francisco 49ers.

Greene was the Green Bay Packers’ outside linebackers coach from 2009-2013.
