John Benton, a 33-year veteran in the coaching ranks, including 19 in the NFL, enters his first season as offensive line coach with the New Orleans Saints. Of the NFL offensive lines he has directed since 2004, seven seasons those teams have finished in the top ten in the league in rushing yards per game.
In his first season with the Jets (2021), Benton's group had 11 different players see time, including nine different starters that formed seven different combinations.
Improving in the system over the course of the season in both the run and pass game, the line helped pave the way for the Jets to average 5.19 yards per carry, the second-best average in the league over the final eight weeks. In pass protection, the line improved their pressure allowed percentage from 32.4 to 25.6 over Weeks 11 through 18, a top half percentage in that span. The line's depth and versatility was on full display in Weeks 16 & 17, as Benton's group – dealing with injuries and COVID - blocked for consecutive games of 150+ rushing yards and one-or-fewer sacks allowed, only the third team in the league with consecutive such games and the first time the Jets did so in back-to-back weeks since 2015.
Over Benton's four seasons in San Francisco (2017-20) as the offensive line coach, the 49ers produced the fourth most rushing yards in the league, with top ten rushing offenses in each of his last three seasons, including the league's number one rushing attack in 2019 as they advanced to Super Bowl LIV.

Rick Dennison brings a wealth of offensive experience to the Saints in 2024 as the club's senior offensive assistant. Entering his 28th season of coaching in the NFL, Dennison has been part of 13 playoff appearances, five division titles, and three Super Bowl victories - XXXII, XXXIII and 50.
Dennison has been a part of winning programs, posting a .500 or better record in 20 of his 27 NFL seasons and has been part of 12 seasons of 10+ wins under his belt. His 17 seasons in Denver resulted in three Super Bowl titles, eight playoff appearances, four AFC West titles and eight seasons of 10+ wins while only suffering two losing seasons.
