New England Patriots quarterbacks coach Ashton Grant is among the young up-and-comers in NFL coaching circles, but this offseason will not be looking for any new opportunities. According to a report<\/a> by ESPN\u2019s Adam Schefter, Grant has decided to stay with the Patriots for the 2026 season.<\/p>\n

The report comes at a time when three offensive coordinator positions remain unoccupied, including one specifically mentioned in Schefter\u2019s report: the Las Vegas Raiders\u2019 under new head coach Klint Kubiak.<\/p>\n

Grant, however, will not pursue the open spot and is also not in consideration for the Rams\u2019 and Seahawks\u2019 vacancies.<\/p>\n

For the Patriots, this ensures some stability around quarterback Drake Maye. The third overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, Maye took a massive step forward in his first year working with Grant and offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels. With both expected back, and the young passer not going anywhere either, the trio will be able to build on the existing foundation heading into 2026.<\/p>\n

\u201cAshton has been awesome with just kind of relaying the connections between the past offense that he was in last year with the Browns that we had last year and just translating it, now using our own terminology and kind of building the foundation for this offense,\u201d Maye said earlier this week.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s so much more we can take with this offense and give me more tools and more answers at the line of scrimmage. With my capability to play the position, use my knowledge of the game and learn it from Coach to get us in the best spot is only going to help us down the road. Just try to get our guys in the offensive room and get me to that level where I\u2019m able to operate on the field in a game-like manner to accomplish those things. So, I\u2019m looking forward to it, getting a chance to be in the \u2014 Lord-willing and knock on wood, the same offense for the second year. I\u2019m looking forward to that, and the sky\u2019s the limit for us.\u201d<\/p>\n

A college wide receiver who briefly spent time in Chicago and Kansas City, Grant started his coaching career at Holy Cross in 2019. The Connecticut native joined the Browns in 2020 and over the subsequent five years served as a fellowship coach, quality control coach and offensive assistant working with the quarterbacks.<\/p>\n

In 2025, he was hired by new head coach Mike Vrabel to coach Maye and the rest of the Patriots\u2019 quarterbacks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"New England Patriots quarterbacks coach Ashton Grant is among the young up-and-comers in NFL coaching circles, but this…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":751769,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2050],"tags":[7,1167,249,95588,2326,2094,6,208,107539],"class_list":{"0":"post-751768","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-england-patriots","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-new-england","10":"tag-new-england-patriots","11":"tag-new-england-patriots-coaching-staff","12":"tag-newengland","13":"tag-newenglandpatriots","14":"tag-nfl","15":"tag-patriots","16":"tag-patriots-coaching-staff-tracker"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116069476083756959","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/751768","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=751768"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/751768\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/751769"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=751768"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=751768"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=751768"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
