MOBILE, Ala. — As Pat Shurmur assembles his new Giants coaching staff, he has reached into the past of his star receiver. The new wide receivers coach is Tyke Tolbert, filling a job description he held with the Cardinals, Bills, Panthers and the past six years with the Broncos.

Tolbert, 50, is a former receiver at LSU, where he was a teammate of Odell Beckham Sr. — the father of the Giants’ Odell Beckham Jr.

“I played college ball with Odell’s dad at LSU, and I went to school with his mom, Heather, at LSU,” Tolbert told the Courier of Montgomery Country in Conroe, Texas, this week. “I told Odell when he was born, I held him as a baby outside of our dorm at LSU.”

Tolbert figures to have an immediate relationship with his prize pupil.

“I’m extremely excited about it,” Tolbert said. “I’ve been coaching in the NFL for 15 years, and all the people that I’ve met that have worked for the New York Giants have always told me, ‘If you ever have the chance to work for the New York Giants, go do it. It’s a top-flight, top-class organization, and you and your family would love it there.’ That’s why when the opportunity came up for me there, I jumped at it.”

Shurmur will include at least one holdover from Ben McAdoo’s staff, as Bill McGovern will remain as the Giants linebackers coach.

Shurmur and McGovern worked together not long ago with the Eagles, so there is a previous connection. Shurmur is also adding Lou Anarumo as his defensive backs coach and Gary Emanuel as his defensive staff, The Post confirmed.

McGovern is from Oradell, N.J., and Anarumo is a native of Staten Island who went to Wagner College. Anarumo, 51, was most recently with the Dolphins. Shurmur is putting together a veteran staff, as Emanuel, 59, is a longtime college assistant who for the last six years worked with the Colts defensive line.

The defensive assistants will be guided by James Bettcher, Shurmur’s 39-year-old defensive coordinator, who filled that role the past three years for the Cardinals. Shurmur has chosen Thomas McGaughey as the special teams coach — McGaughey this past season held that title with the Panthers and also was an assistant special teams coordinator for the Giants under Tom Coughlin for three years. Anthony Blevens, most recently with the Cardinals, will be the assistant special teams coach.
