The Pittsburgh Steelers have announced they’ve hired Ike Hilliard to be their new wide receivers coach.
Hilliard spent 12 years in the NFL. Drafted 7th overall by the New York Giants in the 1997, he signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2005, which was also Mike Tomlin’s final year serving as the DBs coach with the Bucs. In his NFL career, Hilliard caught 546 passes for 6397 yards and 35 touchdowns.
Hilliard has had an extensive coaching career since his playing days ended. He started off as the WRs coach for the UFL’s Florida Tuskers before breaking into the NFL with the Miami Dolphins, Washington Redskins, and Buffalo Bills.
