Report: Browns hire DeWayne Walker to coach defensive backs

Cleveland Browns defensive coordinator Gregg Williams is starting to fill out his coaching staff by hiring DeWayne Walker as defensive backs coach.

Walker spent the past four seasons coaching the defensive backs for the Jacksonville Jaguars. While the Browns have not confirmed the hiring, Tashaun Gipson, who just finished his first season in Jacksonville, let the cat out of the bag on Twitter.

The hiring was later confirmed by Nate Ulrich of The Akron Beacon-Journal.

The Jaguars hired Doug Marrone as their latest head coach this week and, just like what the Browns did after hiring Williams, Marrone started to clean out the previous coaches, a sweep that included Walker.
