Streicher, 35, spent six campaigns working under Mike Vrabel with the Tennessee Titans. Starting as an assistant to the head coach in 2018 and 2019, he went on to work in football development from 2020 through 2022. The title of director of football administration followed in 2023.
An Ohio State alum, like the Patriots Hall of Fame inductee, Streicher earned his bachelor’s degree in 2012 and master’s degree in 2014. He served as an equipment manager and student assistant during his time with the Buckeyes.
From there, Streicher spent two seasons on James Madison’s football staff, as a special assistant to the head coach as well as the director of football operations and player personnel. He later became the director of football operations at Texas State before entering the NFL ranks.
ESPN’s Mike Reiss reported last weekend that Streicher was expected to join the staff in Foxborough.
