DETROIT -- Early in training camp last season, Detroit Lions tight end Brock Wright saw his unit was struggling to master its responsibilities in pass-protection schemes.
That's when newly hired tight ends coach Steve Heiden -- an 11-year veteran at the position who played for the Cleveland Browns and San Diego Chargers -- stepped in.
"We were kind of struggling early on in training camp and him, having played the position for so long, he had so many different technique ideas and drills and things to help us with," Wright said of Heiden.
