A father getting to work with his son is the dream. Until it’s time for one of them to go. Such was the case for Sheldon White and son Cody White. Sheldon, the Steelers Director of Pro Scouting and Cody, a practice squad wide receiver. Cody got there first, signed in 2020, while his dad was among GM Omar Khan’s first hires after taking over in May of 2022.
In most cases, when a player is cut, Sheldon is the man they go through. When it came time for Cody to be released, Khan made sure to avoid an awkward situation.
