Patriots to hire Tiquan Underwood as assistant wide receivers coach, per report

The New England Patriots are far from done adding coaches to their new-look staff, including those with direct ties to Jerod Mayo.

Tiquan Underwood, a former NFL wideout who spent part of his career with the Patriots, is “in the process” of joining the club as its new assistant wide receivers coach. Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated was first to report the hire.

Underwood, 36, entered the league as a seventh-round draft pick out of Rutgers in 2009. He started out with the Jacksonville Jaguars, but in 2011 made the move to New England — being on the same roster as the aforementioned Jerod Mayo.
