Concluding our series is special teams coordinator John Fassel, who enters his 12th NFL season. John is the son of former NFL coach Jim Fassel.
After playing wide receiver at Weber State in 1999, Fassel signed with the Colts as an undrafted free agent. That same year, he was hired by Bucknell to coach receivers and assist in recruiting before moving on to the Amsterdam Admirals a year later. In 2001, Fassel was a GA for Idaho State, returned to Bucknell a year later, and served as New Mexico Highland’s head coach from 2003-2004.
He earned his first position in the NFL with the Ravens, serving as a special teams assistant from 2005-2007 as they finished top 10 in punt and kick return averages.
