Lions defense minister Kelvin Sheppard sounds like an accurate type of coach you would expect from Dan Campbell’s Dan Campbell staff.
Sheppard told Dan Miller of Fox 2 Detroit, raised from Linebackers coach to DC with Aaron Glenn’s departure to New York, and told Dan Miller of Fox 2 Detroit to his philosophy no. 1 in the defense would be that players play “together and each other.”
“So that togetherness and so many things flow from there.” It’s things. Then the bigger picture will come from me, will be DNA who we are as a unit. “
Following the eight -year NFL career as a line baker, Sheppard received his first coaching job under Campbell in 2021. He has risen from outside coach Linebackers to Linebackers coach to DC after five years. It is a rapid increase, especially for the assistant of Sans play.
Sheppard believes that the experience of his defense workers – including a new defensive line/running director Kacy Rodgers, who has previous DC games – will help him grow in the role.
