Detroit’s Brayden Coombs is the youngest special teams coordinator in the NFL. Maybe the loudest too.

……………..

Two conclusions in particular can be made:

1. Brayden Coombs is passionate about coaching Special Teams.
2. He's a good fit for Matt Patricia in Detroit.

The vast limitations of 2020 likely substantially helps Don Muhlbach's cause in remaining the Lions Long Snapper this season. Experience will be even more important than in a typical season. Brayden Coombs, a first time NFL Special Teams Coordinator, likely will be a strong advocate for the Lions to go with Muhlbach for his 17th season.
