Jacksonville Jaguars

On January 16, 2019, the Jacksonville Jaguars hired Walton as their cornerbacks coach. Head Coach Doug Marrone stated that the recommendation from Jim Schwartz was a big reason for Walton's hiring. ″He said if I’m going to be a head coach again, the one guy I would hire as a secondary coach would be Tim,″ Marrone said. ″When I brought him, everything that was told to me was exactly what I thought. Someone who is extremely strong, does a good job with players and gets a lot of out of them.″ In 2021 he was retained by Urban Meyer and remained on the Jaguars staff. He missed the team’s week 5 game against the Tennessee Titans due to Covid-19 symptoms.^[8]
