Most recent position: Green Bay Packers defensive line coach and running game coordinator (not retained)
Age: 44
Playing background: A two-sport athlete during his time at Virgin Valley High School in Mesquite, Nevada, Montgomery was a standout defensive tackle for the Bulldogs. He was named All-American two straight years to close out his high school career, and was the Nevada Player of the Year in 1997. In total, he recorded 38 career sacks, including 16 as a senior, and scored 10 touchdowns.
The New England Patriots have started filling the vacancies on their coaching staff beyond the coordinator level. The first domino to fall is Jerry Montgomery, who the team hired as its new defensive line coach on Monday — filling a spot that was previously occupied by new defensive coordinator DeMarcus Covington.
Way to go VVHS Bulldog!
