Leon Washington has rejoined the Jets’ special teams unit.
Washington is the latest addition to Robert Saleh’s staff, as the Jets announced Wednesday that he is back with the franchise as a special teams assistant.
Washington spent the first four years of his career with the Jets after they made him a fourth-round pick out of Florida State in 2006.
A two-time Pro Bowler and a first-team All-Pro in 2008, Washington also spent time with the Seahawks, Patriots, and Titans before his career ended after the 2014 season.
Washington set several Jets records during his time in New York: kickoff return touchdowns (4), kickoff return touchdowns in a single-season (3 in 2007), and most all-purpose yards in a single season (2,337 in 2008).
Washington was with the Lions the last two years as part of the team’s William Clay Ford Minority Coaching Assistantship Program
