Joe Whitt Jr. came to the Washington Commanders with a reputation as a defensive back guru. At every stop along his coaching journey, the secondaries he managed took major steps forward.
Before joining the Commanders, Whitt served as defensive backs coach and passing game coordinator under Dan Quinn with the Dallas Cowboys. He resurrected their fortunes, helping develop Trevon Diggs and DaRon Bland into first-team All Pros.
Entering his second season in Washington, Whitt has a healthy Marshon Lattimore, rookie sensation Trey Amos, and ascending star Mike Sainristil heading another potentially dynamic group of defensive backs.
