Kacy Rodgers, the team’s new defensive line coach, is widely respected in the NFL for his ability to develop defensive fronts. While coaching the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ defensive line, their unit consistently ranked in the league’s top third in sacks each season.
Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles spoke highly of Rodgers at the NFL Combine, emphasizing his deep understanding of the game. “He’s an outstanding coach who knows football inside and out. We’ve worked together for years, and he’s like a brother to me,” Bowles said. “He and Dan [Campbell] already have a connection from their time in Dallas and Miami, so he’ll fit in well. Detroit is getting a smart, tough, and disciplined coach.”
