Current Tennessee Titans Offensive Coordinator Todd Downing joined the Minnesota Vikings as a Research and Development Intern in 2001. Downing eventually worked his way up the ladder and became an offensive quality control coach in 2005. He would later return to the franchise as Minnesota’s tight ends coach in 2018 before joining the Titans. While speaking with the media following Wednesday’s practice, Downing touched on Tim Kelly’s addition as Tennessee’s Passing Game Coordinator by claiming he “held a similar role with the Vikings.” It’s unclear what exactly Downing is referring to since he never held that direct title in Minnesota, but it’s safe to assume the duties were similar either when he served as their offensive quality control coach (2005) or as a football systems analyst (2003-04).
