Eagles hire Matt Leo as a defensive and football operations assistant

Matt Leo recently retired and he quickly landed on his feet as the Philadelphia Eagles hired the former DE as a Defensive & Football Operations Assistant

Matt Leo recently retired from the NFL, but he’s not leaving Philadelphia.

In a shocking but not surprising move, Howie Roseman has hired the former pass rusher as Defensive & Football Operations Assistant.

A pass rusher at Iowa State, Leo totaled 33 tackles, 11.5 tackles for loss, and three sacks in 29 career games with the Cyclones.

Leo will assist defensive coordinator Sean Desai with gameday prep and other coaching duties in his new role.
