This is really cool: J.T. Barrett is back in the NFL, having exchanged his helmet for a headset. The Detroit Lions announced that Barrett has joined Dan Campbell’s coaching staff as an offensive assistant, adding another former member of the New Orleans Saints to the mix. After accomplishing a record-setting career with the Ohio State Buckeyes, Barrett spent most of his pro career on the Saints practice squad from 2018 to 2019 (where he was signed, waived, and re-signed a bizarre 28 times) before he moved on to try his luck in brief stops with the Seattle Seahawks and Pittsburgh Steelers.
