    New Buffalo Bills quarterbacks coach has a history with OC Joe Brady (5 things to know).

    After filling two defensive coaching vacancies inside this week, the Buffalo Bills looked outside the organization to hire their new quarterback coach. On Wednesday, the team introduced Ronald Curry as their new quarterbacks coach.

    Curry joins the Bills after spending the previous eight years with the New Orleans Saints. It was rumored that the new Saints management offered Curry the position of wide receivers coach, but he chose to join Buffalo.

    Here are five things you should know about Buffalo’s new quarterback coach.

    Worked under Sean Payton for much of his coaching career

    Curry spent three seasons coaching high school football before joining the San Francisco 49ers as an offensive assistant in 2014-2015. Curry relocated to New Orleans from 2016 until 2023 after being let go in San Francisco. Curry coached for Sean Payton from 2016 until 2021. He held several positions in New Orleans under Payton, including offensive assistant (2016-2017), wide receivers coach (2018-2020), and quarterbacks coach (2021).

    Following Payton’s departure from the Saints, Curry added passing game coordinator to his quarterbacks coach title.

    Coached with Joe Brady

    Curry worked under Joe Brady as a coach in New Orleans from 2017 to 2018. Both worked as offensive assistants in 2017. Brady stayed in that position in 2018, while Curry transitioned to wide receiver coach. Curry’s decision to visit Buffalo was most likely influenced by his reunion with Brady.

    Two-sport athlete at UNC

    Curry became one of the most sought-after athletes in collegiate sports after graduating from high school. Curry was ranked as a top-10 prospect in both football and basketball. Curry had verbally committed to Virginia before signing with North Carolina.

    Curry finished his college football career as UNC’s all-time leader in total yards and passing yards. Curry was also selected MVP of two bowl games throughout his college career: the 1998 Las Vegas Bowl and the 2001 Peach Bowl. This was amazing given that he missed time due to an injury and had three different offensive coordinators while at Chapel Hill.

    Curry also played basketball at UNC. He was recognized for his defensive abilities. Julius Peppers joined Curry as a two-sport player at the University of North Carolina.

    Former NFL player

    Curry was selected in the seventh round of the 2022 NFL Draft (No. 235 overall) by the Oakland Raiders. Curry was drafted by the Raiders as a quarterback, but by 2003, he had moved on to wide receiver. Curry only caught five passes for 31 yards as a receiver in 2003, but his numbers skyrocketed in 2004, when he caught 50 passes for 679 yards and six touchdowns. He would go on to receive over 700 yards twice throughout his career with the Raiders (2006, 2007). Curry would stay with the Raiders until 2008 before attempting to make the squads of the Detroit Lions and then-St. Louis Rams in 2009.
    He concluded his professional career with 193 receptions, 2,347 yards, and 13 touchdowns.

    Scored TD vs. Bills in 2004

    Curry had one of his better professional games against the Buffalo Bills in 2004. Curry had five catches for 89 yards and a score in the Raiders’ 13-10 victory over Buffalo.
