Jerod Mayo's defensive coaching staff for the New England Patriots is taking shape

The New England Patriots are gearing up for the 2024 NFL season with a renewed focus on fortifying their defense under the new coaching staff created by rookie head coach Jerod Mayo.

Mayo’s new staff includes 17 coaches, each bringing diverse perspectives and expertise to the table. Notably, the addition of quality control coaches and assistants deviate from the traditional approach seen during the tenure of Bill Belichick. One notable feature of the Patriots’ revamped staff is the inclusion of several former players, a strategic move aimed at fostering a fresh culture and establishing rapport with younger talents early on.
