Bucs interview Jett Modkins for special teams coordinator

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers conducted a virtual interview with Jett Modkins for their special teams coordinator position. Modkins has been the assistant special teams coach with the Detroit Lions since 2021, working under coordinator Dave Fipp. During this time, the Lions have achieved notable success, ranking fifth in kickoff return average and fourth in punt return average. Additionally, the team has scored three punt return touchdowns in the last five years. The Buccaneers are seeking to fill this role following the recent dismissal of special teams coordinator Thomas McGaughey, as part of head coach Todd Bowles' broader staff restructuring.
