Former NFL defensive back Chris Harris just landed a new coaching position. No, not CHJR.
The New York Jets hired former NFL safety Chris Harris, 42, as their new defensive backs coach and passing game coordinator. He spent eight years in the NFL as a defensive back, spending time with four teams.
Harris then switched to coaching after hanging up his cleats and the Jets mark his fifth stop as a coach. Before landing in New York, he previously served as the Tennessee Titans’ defensive pass game coordinator and cornerbacks coach.
The Jets’ Harris is not to be confused with former NFL cornerback Chris Harris Jr., 35. CHJR played cornerback from 2011-2022, spending the majority of his career with the Denver Broncos. He won Super Bowl 50 with the Broncos and earned four Pro Bowl nods and three All-Pro selections during his time in Denver.
The younger Harris might become a coach one day, but it’s not the former Broncos cornerback that was just hired by the Jets.
