The New York Giants on Saturday announced the additions of three more coaches to head coach Brian Daboll’s staff. John Egorugwu will coach inside linebacker and Dean Wilkins will coach outside linebackers. Christian Jones has been hired as an offensive assistant.

Egorugwu, 35, has both collegiate and NFL coaching experience. He spent the 2021 season as the linebackers coach at Vanderbilt University. Egorugwu was previously on the Buffalo Bills’ coaching staff for four years (2017-20), the last three with Daboll, as a defensive quality control coach and assistant linebackers coach. He first coached in the NFL with the Baltimore Ravens from 2015-16 as a defensive assistant, working primarily with the linebackers.
