The Pittsburgh Steelers had a spot to fill on their coaching staff heading into the 2020 season, and it was the vacant role of wide receivers coach after the death of Darryl Drake almost one year ago.
Ray Sherman filled in for Drake during the 2019 season, but Mike Tomlin made it clear he was never the long term answer with the role. This offseason the organization decided to bring in former player, Ike Hilliard, as their new wide receivers coach.
Hilliard had achieved a lot during his time as a player at both Florida and in the NFL, but has also shown he is very capable as a coach at the professional level too.
