Ryan Nielsen joining Buffalo Bills’ defensive staff, per report
The Buffalo Bills are adding talent to the team’s defensive coaching ranks, with recent news shared by Bruce Feldman that Ryan Nielsen is set to join One Bills Drive in the role of senior defensive assistant. Per Feldman, Nielsen has been a hot name with plenty of interest from multiple teams during the most recent NFL coaching hiring cycle.
Nielsen most recently worked with the Jacksonville Jaguars as the team’s defensive coordinator. He held that same role with the Atlanta Falcons prior to his move to Duval. Nielsen’s NFL experience runs deeper than that, with him having also spent six seasons with the New Orleans Saints as a defensive line coach and co-defensive coordinator.
