COACHING

Jeremy Springer enters his second season in New England as special teams coordinator after spending the 2022 and 2023 seasons as a special teams assistant with the Los Angeles Rams.

In his first season as special teams coordinator in 2024, Springer led a unit that ranked second in the NFL with a 90.3 grade, per Pro Football Focus. Cornerback Marcus Jones finished second in the NFL with a 14.8-yard punt return average (26 returns for 386 yards).

Under Springer, S Brenden Schooler was named to the Associated Press All-Pro First Team as the core special teamer, the first All-Pro honor of his career. He was also named to his first-career Pro Bowl and his second-consecutive NFLPA All-Pro and PFWA All-NFL teams as a special teamer. Schooler led the Patriots with 9 special teams tackles and a blocked punt in 2024.

K Joey Slye and P Bryce Baringer also set team records in Springer's first season. Slye set a team record with a 63-yard field goal at San Francisco (9/29/24), the fourth-longest kick in NFL history. Baringer set the highest punting average in a single season in franchise history with a 49.8 punting average. Baringer also became the second Patriots punter to have back-to-back seasons with at least 30 punts inside the 20-yard line after finishing with 31 in 2024.
