Larry Foote To Call Plays For Buccaneers’ Defense In Preseason Game Against Steelers

In the 2000s, the Pittsburgh Steelers had one of the most dominant defenses in the NFL. That unit helped them win two Super Bowls. While names like Troy Polamalu or James Harrison got much of the spotlight, the Steelers’ defense had other talented pieces. That included inside linebacker Larry Foote, who the team selected in the fourth round of the 2002 draft. He remained a Steeler until 2008, and then had another stint with them from 2010-2013.

Now, Foote is the run game coordinator and outside linebackers coach for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Steelers are set to play the Bucs in their upcoming preseason game, and according to Pewter Report on Twitter, Foote will be calling plays for the Bucs’ defense that game.
