Former Detroit Lions quarterback David Blough has been hired as the new assistant quarterbacks coach for the Washington Commanders, the team announced on Thursday morning.
Blough finished the 2023 season on the practice squad of the Lions, but he did not sign a futures contract after the season reached its conclusion.
With his playing career apparently over, Blough, just 28 years old, finished with seven career starts, completing 138-of-242 passes for 1,435 yards, six touchdowns, and nine interceptions. His last game played was in 2022 when he served as the Arizona Cardinals’ starter for a two-game stretch.
