Steve Wilks, the New York Jets' new defensive coordinator, has transitioned from a Super Bowl appearance with the 49ers to a year away from coaching, volunteering at UNC Charlotte. He reflected on this time as crucial for recharging and gaining insights from other teams, notably the Lions. He now takes on a Jets defense that retains eight starters, including standout players at each level, as he aims to improve their performance in the upcoming season.
"It was great to reset and recharge, but [I] learned a lot throughout that process and I was ready to get back into the saddle."
"Wilks inherits a unit with eight returning starters, including one former Pro Bowl or All-Pro player on each level of the defense."
