David Shaw

Lions hired David Shaw, formerly of the Broncos, as their passing game coordinator.

NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero was the first to report. Shaw spent last season in the Broncos’ front office as a senior personnel executive but will now join a revamped Lions staff to assist with their passing game. It’s Shaw’s first job as an NFL coach since 2005, when he served as the Ravens’ wide receivers coach. He will be reunited with new Lions offensive coordinator John Morton, who spent last season as the Broncos passing game coordinator. Shaw has fielded several NFL interviews for various positions since departing from Stanford after the 2022 college football season. At just 52 years old, there is plenty of time for Shaw to coach his way into a head coaching role at the NFL level if he’s interested in doing so.
