A former New York Giant is making his next move after concluding his playing days last summer.
Robert Ayers, who played defensive end for Big Blue from 2014-15, has accepted an assistant coaching job at Knoxville Catholic High School in Tennessee. Ayers was actually a standout player for the University of Tennesse from 2005-08, having earned a first-team All-SEC selection during his final campaign with the Volunteers. His collegiate-level efforts led to the Denver Broncos choosing him with the No. 18 overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft.
After five seasons with the Broncos, the Giants inked Ayers to a two-year deal worth $4 million.
