Raheem Morris played defensive back in college.
Every game he’s coached in the NFL, he has been on the defensive side of the ball.
But when eight-year assistant Terry Robiskie departed the team to become the offensive coordinator of the Tennessee Titans, Falcons coach Dan Quinn was left with a major hole on his coaching staff. He came to believe that Morris’ defensive mind could help the offense as a wide receivers coach.
“When we first talked about it, for me, it was making sure that (offensive coordinator) Kyle (Shanahan) was comfortable with it,” Morris said.
