Another member of John Harbaugh's Ravens staff is reportedly planning to join the Giants' coaching staff.
But with the Ravens having hired former Chargers defensive coordinator Jesse Minter to succeed Harbaugh as head coach, Minter decided to go in a different direction. Horton is a former defensive back who was drafted in the seventh round by the Washington Commanders in 2008.
He was also with the Giants during the 2012 offseason, his last as an active player, before he went into coaching after failing to make the Giants roster. Coaching, though, has been good to Horton, who was with Harbaugh in Baltimore since 2014, first as the assistant special team coach, the role he held until 2018, and then most recently as the special teams coordinator, to which he was promoted in 2019. Since 2019, Baltimore has ranked in the Top 10 in several special teams categories, including yards per punt return , punt returns of 20+ yards , opponent yards per kickoff return , and kick return TDs . And since 2015, when Horton joined the special teams staff, the unit has posted 7 Top 5 finishes and 6 Top 3 finishes, with 3 No. 1 finishes. The Ravens finished ninth in Horton's first year leading the group and posted a Top 3 mark in each of the next four seasons – with a No. 2 ranking in 2020, No. 1 ranking in 2021, No. 3 ranking in 2022, and No. 3 ranking in 2023. Prior to joining Harbaugh's Ravens coaching staff, Horton spent the 2013 training camp as a coaching intern with the Seattle Seahawks.Patricia Traina has covered the New York Giants for 30+ seasons, and her work has appeared in multiple media outlets, including The Athletic, Forbes, Bleacher Report, and the Sports Illustrated media group.
