Ex-Giant Kevin Wilkins joins Wink Martindale at Michigan

Former New York Giants assistant Kevin Wilkins is joining defensive coordinator Wink Martindale at Michigan as a defensive analyst.

Former New York Giants defensive assistant Kevin Wilkins will be joining the staff of the National Champion Michigan Wolverines as an off-field assistant this season.

Wilkins will be working once again under defensive coordinator Wink Martindale, who was hired by first-year head coach Sherrone Moore to be the team’s defensive coordinator.

Wilkins was fired by the Giants after the 2023 season along with his brother, Drew, in a bloodbath that culminated in Martindale’s departure.

“Wilkins is still a good football coach and hiring him as an analyst is a huge boon for the Wolverines,” writes Chris Peterson of GBMWolverine.com.

“He’s got nine years of NFL experience and knows the defensive scheme like the back of his hand. The addition should also make Martindale more comfortable since none of the position coaches were really his guys.”

Drew Wilkins recently joined head coach Jerod Mayo’s staff in New England as the new outside linebackers coach.
