The Houston Texans have added a former San Francisco 49ers staffer as coach DeMeco Ryans assembles his new crew.
According to Aaron Wilson from KPRC-TV, the Texans have hired former 49ers chief of staff Nick Kray, who previously was an administrative assistant to Shanahan.
Kray’s new role for the Texans will be chief of staff under Ryans. It is unknown whether he will continue the pregame ritual of carrying a boom box in the tunnel as he did for the 49ers.
Kray was a defensive end at Eastern Illinois, and later became the defensive ends and quality control coach from 2008-09. At Villanova from 2010-11, he was an offensive and special teams assistant. Kray was the director of football operations for Yale from 2012-13. Kray was the director of football and player development at Ball State in 2014 before taking a job as the assistant director of football operations for North Carolina State from 2015-16.
