The New York Giants continued to round out their coaching staff on Friday, hiring Cam Achord as an assistant special teams coach.
ESPN’s Jordan Raanan was the first to report news of the hiring.
Former #Patriots special teams coordinator Cam Achord is joining the Giants as an assistant, per sources. He had been in NE since 2018.
The #Giants had an opening after Mike Adams was recently named an assistant secondary coach after being a special teams assistant last year.
