Steelers LB Coach Aaron Curry Using His Playing Career To Relate, Teach Pittsburgh’s ILB Room

With Brian Flores moving to Minnesota to be the Vikings defensive coordinator and the Pittsburgh Steelers moving on from longtime linebackers coach Jerry Olsavsky this offseason, a huge need opened up at linebacker coach in Pittsburgh. Enter Aaron Curry, former Seattle Seahawks first-round pick and current Steelers inside linebacker coach. Curry’s fame in the NFL is not living up to his draft billing, drafted fourth overall in 2009 but out of the league by 2013, but he is now ready to use that experience to turn around the Steelers linebacker room.

Talking to Pittsburgh Tribune-Review Steelers beat writer Joe Rutter this summer, Curry said that because he has experience in the NFL and knows both good and bad habits, he can nip any bad habits of his players in the bud.
