Mike McCarthy is applying the finishing touches to his coaching staff. The team has made another good hire with Giants defensive line coach Patrick Graham. Tom Silverstein had the news.
#Packers are hiring former #Giants DL coach Patrick Graham. He may coach LBs. That’s what he coached with the #Patriots. Highly regarded young coach who got high recommendation from Ben McAdoo to Mike McCarthy.
