The Detroit Lions have once again gone to an ex-NFL player to help fill out its coaching staff, hiring Antwaan Randle El to coach the team's receivers.
Randle El was an offensive assistant with Tampa Bay the past two seasons, helping the team win a Super Bowl over Kansas City earlier this month.
The 41-year-old played nine years in the NFL with Pittsburgh and Washington, appearing in 143 games with 71 starts. He caught 370 passes for 4,467 yards and 15 touchdowns. He also was a returner for part of his career with 26 returns for 288 yards and a touchdown.
