According to a report from ESPN’s Dan Graziano, the Detroit Lions are hiring Cardinals tight ends coach Steve Heiden to be part of the coaching staff. Per Graziano, Heiden is set to become the Lions tight end coach.
Of course, that’s a very interesting development, because the Lions already have a tight ends coach in Tanner Engstrand, who was promoted to the position last year after the previous tight ends coach Ben Johnson got the offensive coordinator job. It’s unclear if Engstrand, who also carried the title “passing game coordinator,” is getting a promotion or is leaving the team.
