Saints offensive assistant set to be quarterbacks coach at the Senior Bowl

New Orleans Saints offensive assistant Jordan Traylor will get a chance to coach several NFL quarterback prospects at the Senior Bowl:

The New Orleans Saints will have another coach at the Senior Bowl, this time it is offensive assistant Jordan Traylor, who will be handling the quarterback coach position for the National Team. With this, he will gain the opportunity to with with Oregon Ducks quarterback Dillon Gabriel, Wilfrid Laurier quarterback Taylor Elgersma, and Louisville quarterback Tyler Shough.

One of the most intriguing parts about this is that Elgersma will be the second player ever from a USports school (the governing body of Canadian university sports) to attend the Senior Bowl, with the only other one being wide receiver Tyrone Williams back in 1992. Williams would go on to be drafted in the ninth round of the 1992 NFL draft, and would bounce around the CFL and NFL for about six seasons, ultimately being on rosters that won two Super Bowls (XXVII and XXVIII) also winning a Grey Cup with Doug Flutie at the helm in 1996.

With that said, this will be a great opportunity for Traylor to scout him among other quarterbacks in the game. Traylor has spent four seasons as a part of the Saints coaching staff, and six seasons with the team. He has been a defensive, offensive, and scouting assistant at different points throughout his tenure with the Saints, and has had the chance to work with Arkansas and Texas as well at the collegiate level.

Saints assistant Jordan Traylor has a new assignment in 2024

New Orleans Saints assistant coach Jordan Traylor has a new assignment in 2024: working with the quarterbacks

The New Orleans Saints are hiring within their own staff as Jordan Traylor has been promoted to the assistant quarterbacks coach, replacing D.J. Williams, per 247 Sports’ Matt Zenitz.

Traylor played college football at Texas A&M as a quarterback, and has been with New Orleans for five years now. He spent two years as a scouting assistant before joining the coaching staff as a defensive assistant. He switched to offense last season and will now move up to his new role for 2024. It’s clear that he has made a name for himself in New Orleans as he will stick around among a lot of offensive turnover on the staff.

Traylor will work closely with recently hired quarterbacks coach Andrew Janocko. It’s a positive that the Saints were able to find at least some continuity within the offensive staff as Janocko remains an up-and-coming coach at just 36 years old. Janocko could leave for a promotion of his own if Derek Carr makes rapid progress in the fall. Developing in-house replacements like Traylor is a key to sustaining success.
