Curtis Modkins’ first three NFL seasons were on three different teams
Part of succeeding in the NFL isn’t just about being smart or resourceful. It also takes a great deal of resilience. Curtis Modkins learned that the hard way. His first job opportunity at the pro level came in 2008 with the Kansas City Chiefs. Unfortunately the entire staff was fired at the end of the season. Undaunted, Modkins latched on in Arizona with the Cardinals. Yet despite helping the team make the playoffs, he was again released after one year.
It wasn’t until 2010 that he finally found some stability. The Buffalo Bills hired him as offensive coordinator, marking the third team he’d worked for in just three seasons. That doesn’t happen very often. A testament to his ability and his knack for being able to adjust. During that run he had some impact too. He helped Kansas City draft Jamaal Charles and then developed C.J. Spiller into a Pro Bowler with Buffalo.
It will be fun to see what he can do with Jordan Howard.
