Former New York Giants offensive lineman David Diehl is returning to the football field more than eight years after announcing his retirement. Kind of.
On Monday afternoon, Diehl revealed via Instagram that he will try his hand at coaching. First up? The Memphis Tigers, where he will serve as an offensive analyst.
“My Football Journey Continues & I Couldn’t Be More Proud & Excited To Announce That I Will Be Joining Head Coach Ryan Silverfield & The University of Memphis Football 2022 Coaching Staff,” Diehl wrote. “I Haven’t Been This Driven, Motivated, & Focused Since Being Drafted By The New York Football Giants In 2003. Let’s Go Tigers!!!”
The Giants selected Diehl in the fifth round of the 2003 NFL draft. The Illinois product would go on to start 160 of his 164 career games over 11 NFL seasons, picking up two Super Bowl titles along the way.
Since his retirement, Diehl has made stops with FOX, CBS Sports and SiriusXM as a broadcaster/analyst.
