Detroit Lions defensive backs coach Brian Duker during training camp at the Detroit Lions Headquarters and Training Facility in Allen Park on Sunday, July 23, 2023.
Aaron Glenn and the New York Jets are taking a gamble with their defense, as they have hired Brian Duker as their defensive coordinator on Wednesday.
The 36-year-old Duker, who spent the previous two seasons as the Miami Dolphins’ pass game coordinator and secondary coach, worked under Glenn, then the defensive coordinator, while with the Detroit Lions.
It is believed to be a significant reason why talks with former Giants and Baltimore Ravens defensive coordinator Wink Martindale fell through.
