Throwback Thursday: Jeff Burris – From Notre Dame Star to NFL Coach

The New York Giants are making key offseason moves to rebuild their team, and one of their latest additions is former Notre Dame All-American Jeff Burris, who has been hired as their new assistant secondary/cornerbacks coach.

Burris, a standout for the Fighting Irish in the early 1990s, was a dynamic two-way player under head coach Lou Holtz. Primarily a defensive back, he also contributed on offense in short-yardage goal-line situations. His stellar play earned him All-American honors before he was selected in the first round of the 1994 NFL Draft by the Buffalo Bills.
