New to the staff in 2020 are Sanjay Lal in the role of senior offensive assistant, Damione Lewis as a defensive assistant, and Keli'i Kekuewa as an offensive assistant. Lal, who played at the University of Washington, replaces Steve Shimko, who left earlier this offseason to become the tight ends coach at Boston College. Lal spent the past two seasons as the receivers coach in Dallas, and previously coached with the New York Jets, Buffalo Bills, Indianapolis Colts and Oakland Raiders. Lewis, a former NFL defensive end who was a first-round pick out of Miami, most recently served as assistant athletic director at Florida International University. Lewis had previously spent time with the Seahawks' coaching staff in 2017 as part of the NFL's Bill Walsh Diversity Coaching Fellowship. Kekuewa joins the Seahawks after spending last year at Notre Dame as a defensive grad assistant.
