Jesse Madden, grandson of legendary NFL coach and broadcaster John Madden, has joined the Washington Commanders coaching staff. The 21-year-old recent graduate of the University of Michigan played for the Wolverines' national championship-winning team in 2023-24.
With Pro Football Hall of Famer John Madden 's football legacy etched in stone, the NFL is about to have another Madden on the sidelines. The Washington Commanders announced two additions to their coaching staff on Tuesday, one of which is Jesse Madden —the grandson of John Madden . The 21-year-old Madden is a recent graduate of the University of Michigan and will now embark on his first-ever coaching endeavor.
He played football for the Wolverines—having played both quarterback and defensive back—and was a part of Michigan's national championship-winning team in 2023–24. Madden's late grandfather John was, of course, a legend in the NFL world, having parlayed a 10-year, Super Bowl XI-winning, coaching career into one of the best broadcasting careers the league has seen. After a 30-year color commentating career across CBS, Fox, ABC, and NBC, Madden retired in 2009 at the age of 85. He'd surely be proud that his coaching legacy is set to live on through his grandson.
