The NFL’s Rising Defensive Geniuses: Who Will Redefine the 2025 Season?

The NFL's Rising Defensive Geniuses: Who Will Redefine the 2025 Season?

Campanile coached linebackers under a few different coordinators with the Dolphins, including Brian Flores, Josh Boyer and Vic Fangio, before he joined Jeff Hafley’s defensive staff in Green Bay as a linebackers coach and run game coordinator. The Packers’ 2024 run defense ranked 12th in success rate at 35.3% and tied for fifth in rush yards allowed per play at 3.9, but it ranked 19th in run disruption rate at 65.9%.

Golden is the true wild card after moving over from college football. He spent the past three seasons as Notre Dame’s defensive coordinator: Last year, the Fighting Irish had the 16th-best FBS defensive success rate at 34.5%, a mark that ranked fifth among teams that allowed at least 900 total plays. He has some NFL experience as Cincinnati’s linebackers coach under the then-DC Anarumo in 2020 and ’21.
