The Steelers have named Ike Hilliard as the team’s new wide receivers coach

The Steelers have found a new assistant coach, one with playing and coaching experience in the NFL.

The team announced the addition of Ike Hilliard as their new wide receivers coach.

Hilliard has been with Washington the last six seasons, and has nine years of coaching experience in the league. He also worked for the Bills and Dolphins, and had a previous one-year stint with Washington, and coached two years in the UFL.

Underrated hiring. Ike Hilliard is a very experienced WR coach.
