During the Pittsburgh Steelers’ OTAs and training camp, one familiar face was on the field assisting the coaching staff in former LB Ryan Shazier. Shazier played for the Steelers from 2014-2017 before a suffering severe spinal injury that ended his career. But Shazier has stayed around football, working as a broadcaster and analyst and now helping as a coach. During an interview with Tony Dungy for Football Night In America, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said that he thinks Shazier “has all the tools” to be a good coach.
“Ryan has a unique relationship with this game, he has a passion for it, he has a thirst for knowledge regarding the game he likes to share with others.
