Former Steelers wide receiver could become head coach in NFL
If you asked Chicago Bears HC Ben Johnson, one former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver could become an NFL head coach in the near future.
Pittsburgh Steelers fans are buzzing about the potential of a former team member to ascend to the NFL head coaching ranks. Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson has expressed strong confidence in former Steeler Antwaan Randle El, believing he could become an offensive coordinator or even a head coach in the league. Johnson revealed during a recent interview that he called plays for the Bears' wide receivers during the second half of their preseason opener, where they scored 24 points and racked up 235 yards of offense.
Randle El's impressive performance in leading the Bears' offensive efforts has sparked speculation about his future in coaching. Drafted by the Steelers in 2002, Randle El played four seasons with the team before moving on to the Washington Commanders and then back to Pittsburgh in 2010. He went on to win Super Bowl XLV with the Steelers in 2009.
Since then, Randle El has had a successful coaching career, serving as an offensive assistant for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, wide receivers coach for the Detroit Lions, and assistant head coach and wide receivers coach for the Bears. His continued success and positive impact on the field position him as a promising candidate for a head coaching position in the NFL.
