Shead played several seasons in Seattle and spent the last three seasons as a Seahawks assistant coach.
As the Seattle Seahawks continue to remake their coaching staff under new head coach Mike Macdonald, members of Pete Carroll’s final staff continue to find employment on other teams. Former Seahawks defensive back turned assistant DBs coach DeShawn Shead is on his way to South Beach to join Mike McDaniel’s Miami Dolphins. From his Instagram: Presumably Shead would remain a defensive backs coach in Miami, but that hasn’t been confirmed.
Undrafted out of Portland State University, Shead signed with the Seahawks in 2012 and made it to the practice squad. He was promoted to the active roster in the Super Bowl-winning 2013 season, and carved out a role on special teams and as a reserve safety. Shead became a starting outside cornerback in 2015 after Cary Williams was benched and eventually released.
