The New York Giants filled their coaching vacancy in the secondary with Marquand Manuel this week.
NFL insider Josina Anderson reports that Manuel will also serve as the team’s defensive passing game coordinator under returning defensive coordinator Shane Bowen.

Manuel was hired to replace the recently fired Jerome Henderson, the cornerbacks coach and defensive passing game coordinator. Safeties coach Mike Treier was also terminated at the time.
The 45-year-old Manuel was a former NFL safety for eight seasons with six different teams and played in the Seahawks’ Super Bowl XL loss to Pittsburgh to close out the 2005 season.
Manuel began his professional coaching career with Seattle in 2012 as their assistant special teams coordinator. He was a defensive assistant for the Seahawks in their Super Bowl victory over Denver after the next season.
After leaving Seattle in 2015, he has spent time as a defensive assistant for the Atlanta Falcons, Philadelphia Eagles and, most recently, the New York Jets.
