Ray Sherman, a former wide receiver at Fresno State University, has coached for seven colleges and 11 NFL teams, including the Steelers as Bill Cowher’s offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach in 1998.
Sherman steps into Drake’s role after Drake’s sudden passing earlier this month, which Juju Smith-Schuster plans to commemorate with a series of wristbands memorializing the late coach.
“Usually he says a quote to us every day, and the last quote he said to us was, ‘Never choose good when great is available,'” said Smith-Schuster as he read from one of two black-and-gold wristbands.
