Pleasant, a former cornerback, has almost exclusively coached defense in his NFL tenure. He did spend one season on the Washington offensive staff shortly after his playing career ended.
Pleasant, known for his hands-on coaching style, coached the Detroit DBs for the first half of 2022 and all of 2021. The Lions defense ranked dead last while Pleasant was in Detroit.
