Ted Ginn Jr. could benefit from former Cleveland Browns special teams coach Brad Seely.
Former Browns special teams coach and assistant head coach Brad Seely. Press Democrat reporter Eric Branch writes how the San Francisco 49ers acquisition of Ted Ginn Jr. kick started the team's pitiful punt-return unit.
Now, writes, Branch will the hiring of former Cleveland Browns special teams coordinator Brad Seely be a boon for the already productive Ginn, a graduate of Glenville High School.
Ginn brought respectability to a punt-return unit that ranked last in the NFL in 2009, averaging 4.4 yards per return (the lowest in the league since 2004). Ginn’s 13.4-yard average ranked third in the NFL and his 78-yard punt return for a touchdown on Dec. 26 at St. Louis was San Francisco’s first since 2005.
Enter Seely, a two-time Special Teams Coach of the Year whose units in Cleveland this past season ranked third in the NFL according to statistics compiled by Rick Gosselin of the Dallas Morning News (the Niners ranked 17th). Seely’s special teams units ranked first in the league in 2009 when the 5-11 Browns ranked 32nd in the NFL in total offense and 31st in total defense. Seely’s special teams have ranked among the NFL’s top-five on six occasions since 1990 according to Gosselin’s statistics, which are considered the industry standard.
How good is Seely? Well he has coached three Pro-Bowl returners during his 22-year career: Cleveland’s Josh Cribbs, Carolina’s Michael Bates and Indianapolis’ Clarence Verdin.
