D'Anton Lynn, son of former Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn, is a rising name in the football coaching ranks. Can he revitalize UCLA's woeful defense?
, the New England Patriots offensive coordinator, who mentioned how much he liked working with D’Anton when they were together several years earlier with the Houston Texans.D’Anton had moved on to Baltimore, where he was in his second season as the team’s safeties coach. After obtaining permission to speak with D’Anton, Kelly found himself taken with his unique blend of youth and NFL experience, not to mention his ability to teach.
“This kid’s a superstar,” said Rex Ryan, the former New York Jets and Buffalo Bills coach who was D’Anton’s boss with both teams, “and he’s going to be, without question, a head coach probably a hell of a lot sooner than UCLA wants him to be.” Anthony Lynn talks to his son, D’Anton Lynn. From an early age, D’Anton was curious about football strategy.. Once he transitioned to coaching with the Broncos, Anthony brought D’Anton along to practice to shag balls.
The son starred for the same high school football team his father had previously, landing a scholarship to Penn State. Having played five positions in high school, D’Anton specialized as a cornerback in college, becoming a three-time All-Big Ten Conference selection. A violent collision that sidelined him for two games his senior year was the first in a series of injuries that dampened his NFL draft prospects.
Ryan had watched the younger Lynn try to make the Jets’ roster fresh out of college, calling him one of the smartest players he had coached. He also proved to be one of the toughest, igniting a 20-player brawl in training camp when he shoved running back Joe McKnight out of bounds.D’Anton Lynn stands on the field before a game between the Baltimore Ravens and the Tennessee Titans in August 2022. Lynn was the Ravens’ defensive backs coach from 2021-22.
Realizing that D’Anton was becoming a coveted commodity, Chargers management initially didn’t want him to leave when the Houston Texans called about his availability. So what will D’Anton’s defense look like in his first season calling plays since he was a peewee quarterback? Two mantras have emerged in training camp.“Shocking effort and taking the ball away,” defensive tackle Jay Toia said.
