The New York Giants continue to make offseason adjustments in an effort to get this team back to winning games, and the most recent adjustment is the hiring of Jeff Burris as their new assistant secondary/cornerbacks coach.

Burris played for Notre Dame in the early 90s before being drafted into the NFL by the Buffalo Bills. He played 10 seasons in the NFL, making stops in Indianapolis, Cincinnati, and New England.
He began coaching in 2011, spending two years at the collegiate level before joining the Miami Dolphins in 2013. It was there that Burris met Joe Schoen. The two coached in Miami together for two seasons before Burris went back to the college level, where he’s spent the last nine years.
As a former professional player, Burris can connect with the Giants secondary in a way that not many coaches can, especially since Burris was a defensive back. That he’s worked with Schoen in the past means he likely knows what to expect and agrees with how Schoen does things.
The Giants still have a ton of work to do this offseason, but getting the right coaches in place is a big part of getting this team back on track.
