ASHBURN — Ryan Kerrigan said at his retirement press conference that he wanted to explore getting into coaching. The Washington Commanders are now giving their all-time sacks leader a taste of the grind.
Coach Ron Rivera said Monday that Kerrigan will be around the Commanders for the next few weeks so the former pass-rusher can truly gauge whether the profession is right for him. The 33-year-old is not on Washington’s staff in any official capacity, but the team is allowing Kerrigan to be around in an advisory role.
“I told him one of the things that I did when I first retired, it took me about a year and a half before I decided I really wanted to get into coaching,” Rivera said.
