Devin McCourty says Jerod Mayo tried to get him to join coaching staff

Former New England Patriots safety Devin McCourty revealed Patriots coach Jerod Mayo offerered him a position on the staff.

McCourty currently works for NBC Sports, after retiring from the NFL in 2023.

Mayo created a buzz this week when he said he would welcome Tom Brady on his coaching staff in New England. As it stands right now, the Patriots currently have two former players as assistant coaches in inside linebackers coach Dont’a Hightower and assistant wide receivers coach Tiquan Underwood.

McCourty respectfully declined Mayo’s offer, for now.
