Дейлон МакКатчон: Американ футболшысы және жаттықтырушысы

American football player and coach (born 1976)

Daylon Anthony McCutcheon (born December 9, 1976) is an American former professional football player and coach. He was a cornerback for seven seasons for the Cleveland Browns of the National Football League (NFL) and later was an assistant coach for the New York Jets.

McCutcheon played high school football at Bishop Amat Memorial High School in La Puente, California under the direction of then head coach Mark Paredes. As a senior, he rushed for 2,456 yards in 1994; however he chose to play cornerback in college because his pro prospects were considered better at that position.

McCutcheon played college football at the University of Southern California. Although he played primarily on defense, the Trojans occasionally used him as a receiver due to his overall talent. Following his senior year, he was named All American second team by The Sporting News and All Pac 10 first team. He was also a semifinalist for the Jim Thorpe Award.

McCutcheon was drafted in the third round of the 1999 NFL Draft. He played in 103 games with 96 starts and accumulated 463 tackles, 7 sacks, 12 interceptions, 63 pass breakups, and 8 forced fumbles for the Browns before being released on March 9, 2007.

Beginning in 2007, McCutcheon began coaching at his former high school.

McCutcheon was named the New York Jets' assistant defensive backs coach on January 29, 2015. On January 16, 2018, it was announced that McCutcheon would not be retained as the assistant defensive backs coach for the 2018 season.

McCutcheon returned to his high school alma mater as a cornerbacks coach from 2018 until his son graduated from the school in 2021.

McCutcheon‘s father, Lawrence McCutcheon, was an all pro running back who set the since broken Los Angeles Rams career rushing record (6,186 yards) and played in Super Bowl XIV. Daylon's son, Dyson McCutcheon, plays for the Washington Huskies.
