The Browns have hired DeWayne Walker as their new defensive backs coach, the Akron Beacon Journal reported Friday.

Walker spent the past four seasons as defensive backs coach with the Jaguars. Walker has also coached in the college ranks and in the NFL with the Patriots, Giants and Redskins.

The Browns fired defensive coordinator Ray Horton and several assistants on both sides of the ball after a 1-15 season. Gregg Williams was hired early this week as the new defensive coordinator.

Walker has previous experience working with both Williams and Browns head coach Hue Jackson.
