Former Steelers CB Deshea Townsend Joins Giants’ Staff As Assistant Defensive Backs Coach

As I talked about earlier this offseason, former Pittsburgh Steelers safety—and defensive backs coach—Darren Perry has recently become available after spending a considerable amount of time working with the Green Bay Packers in the same position, most often under former Steelers defensive coordinator Dom Capers, who also parted ways with the team following the 2017 season.

Perry has been linked with the Tennessee Titans, though that has not yet been made official. The Titans, since hiring former Steelers linebacker Mike Vrabel as head coach, have parted ways with quite a bit of their staff, including former Steelers defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau, replacing him with former Baltimore Ravens defensive coordinator Dean Pees, who had retired.
