Named to his current position on January 14, 1999, Nolan Cromwell enters his 28th NFL season; the first 11 as a Pro Bowl-caliber safety and the last 16 as an assistant coach.
Cromwell enters 2007 without Darrell Jackson for the first time since 1999. Under Cromwell’s guidance, Jackson finished his career ranking fourth in Seattle history in catches (441), third in yards (6,445) and second in receiving touchdowns (47).
This season, Cromwell’s receiving corps is led by Super Bowl XXXIX MVP Deion Branch, who tied (D.J. Hackett) for second on the team with four touchdowns, Hackett and 12-year veteran Bobby Engram. Also in the mix is Nate Burleson, who caught 68 balls for more than 1,000 yards while with Minnesota in 2004.
In 2005, Engram led the team in catches (67) and yards (778) for his best season since 1999.
Cromwell’s 2002 receivers helped set franchise records for most 300-yard (5) and 400-yard (2) passing games and in 2003 helped QB Matt Hasselbeck set a franchise record with 3,841 passing yards.
In 1999, he helped Derrick Mayes have a career year, leading the team in receptions (62) and touchdowns (10).
In 1998, Cromwell coached the Green Bay Packers' wide receivers under Mike Holmgren, after serving as special teams coach from 1992-97.
Cromwell's squad included Pro Bowl standout Antonio Freeman who established career-highs leading the NFL with 1,424 yards on 84 receptions. Overall, the Packers passing game accounted for 33 touchdowns that year, while helping guide the team to a sixth-consecutive postseason appearance.
Before taking over the wide receivers, Cromwell coached Green Bay's aggressive special teams units. One of the league's most feared punt return teams, the Packers paced the NFL in 1996 with a 15.1-yard return average. That year, his group of field position warriors also led the league by scoring 24 points, and adding another two touchdowns in the postseason en route to a Super Bowl XXXI victory. On five different weekends during the 1996 season, one of Cromwell's players was honored as Special Teams Player of the Week.
Prior to taking on duties with the Packers, Cromwell coached on John Robinson's Los Angeles Rams staff as a defensive and special teams assistant in 1991.
A second-round draft choice by the Rams in 1977, Cromwell played his entire 11-year career for Los Angeles, earning four Pro Bowl berths, an NFC Defensive Player of the Year award (Kansas City Committee of 101) in 1980, and an NFL Defensive Back of the Year award (Football Digest) in 1984.
He ended his Rams career as the team's all-time leader in interception return yardage with 671 yards on 37 picks. He was also a member of the Rams' Super Bowl XIV team following the 1979 season.
An All-America wishbone quarterback at Kansas, Cromwell established an NCAA single-game rushing record for quarterbacks with 294 yards as a junior, after playing safety his first two collegiate seasons. He also was an accomplished decathlete in track.
Born on January 30, 1955, in Kansas, Nolan and his wife, Mary, have two children, Lance and Jennifer.
