Two days after bringing Dont’a Hightower on board to coach linebackers, the New England Patriots have hired another assistant to work with the position group.
Drew Wilkins, who spent the 2023 season with the New York Giants, will join the club as its outside linebackers coach. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport was first to report the move.
Wilkins, 36, started his career as a student assistant coach at his alma mater, Maryland, before making the jump to the NFL in 2010. He spent the first 12 years of his career with the Baltimore Ravens, filling various roles on the team’s support and coaching staffs.
