Former NFL running back Clinton Portis enters the college football coaching fraternity after accepting the running backs coach and run game coordinator position at Delaware State University under new head coach DeSean Jackson.

Clinton Portis, who rushed for just under 10,000 yards over nine NFL seasons and was a two-time Pro Bowl selection, has been named DeSean Jackson's running backs coach and run game coordinator at Delaware State.

Portis is second on the Commanders’ career rushing leaderboard with 6,824, behind only John Riggins (7,472), though the latter played 30 more games with the franchise. Riggins (79) is also the only Washington player with more rushing scores than Portis (46).

Former Miami and NFL running back Clinton Portis is joining DeSean Jackson's Delaware State coaching staff as running backs coach and run game coordinator. Like Jackson, this will be Portis' first foray into the collegiate coaching ranks.
