The San Francisco 49ers are hiring a linebacker who gave them fits for many years and adding him to their coaching staff. Former Seattle Seahawks linebacker K.J. Wright announced on social media Monday that he’s the new assistant linebacker coach for the Niners. The 34-year-old played a decade for Seattle.
Wright will also serve as a defensive quality control coach.
“I am thoroughly excited. I am really, really happy for this opportunity. I’m really happy for the Niners organization believing in me. Trusting me with their franchise. Competing against those guys since Day 1.
