The Detroit Lions have filled out the coaching staff for the 2022 NFL season. In addition to many prominent returning names underneath head coach Dan Campbell, the Lions added three new members to the staff.
New senior offensive assistant John Morton is an experienced coach who most recently spent the last three seasons in the same role with the Las Vegas Raiders. Morton, not to be confused with former Lions WR Johnny Morton, has over 20 years of NFL coaching experience. He had one season (2017) as the offensive coordinator for the New York Jets. Morton also coached with Campbell in New Orleans in 2016, serving as the Saints wide receivers coach that year.
Morton also played wide receiver in the NFL Europe and CFL after graduating from Western Michigan back in 1993. He will work with offensive skill position players.
Wayne Blair is the new defensive quality control coach, but he’s a familiar face in Allen Park. Blair coached under the Bill Walsh Diversity Coaching Fellowship program for the Lions in 2021.
The third new coach is one previously announced. Assistant defensive line coach Cameron Davis was known to be with the team. He jumps up from FCS-level Lamar University.
