Former New England Patriots offensive lineman James Ferentz will join the New York Giants’ coaching staff as an assistant coach, per a report from the team’s official website.
This marks a Patriots reunion of sorts, as Giants head coach Brian Daboll was also part of the New England staff on several occasions.
Ferentz announced his retirement on February 19, ending a 10-year career in the NFL. He played for the Patriots from 2017-2023, appearing in 40 games and starting in 10 of them. He was also a part of two Super Bowl-winning teams with New England.
Now, he will throw his hat in the coaching ring.

Ferentz was a consistent and stable lineman throughout his time with the Patriots. He will look now to provide that same stability coaching from the sidelines for the Giants.
