The British coach building Seahawks’ new ‘Legion of Boom’

It’s not often that Aden Durde has time to stop and reflect on the “crazy” trail he’s blazing through the NFL.

Since becoming Britain’s first full-time NFL coach in 2018, Durde spends most of the year focused on the daily grind of American football.

Having joined the Atlanta Falcons, he was promoted in 2020 before taking another step up the coaching ladder with the Dallas Cowboys in 2021.

The 45-year-old from Middlesex is now just one rung from head coach having been appointed as the Seattle Seahawks’ defensive coordinator in February.
