Two former great NFL wide receivers have an interest in sharing all of their knowledge and wisdom with the current group of Eagles skill players.
Paul Domowitch of the Philadelphia Inquirer is reporting that former Steelers legend Hines Ward and former Penn State star and Bears wide receiver, Bobby Engram, have interest in the job vacated by Carson Walch.
Ward, 44, who played 14 years with the Pittsburgh Steelers, just finished his first season as an offensive assistant with the Jets.
Engram, 47, who also had a 14-year NFL playing career, has been an assistant on John Harbaugh’s staff in Baltimore for the last five years. He spent the first four coaching the team’s wide receivers and took over the tight ends this season when Harbaugh brought in former Eagles assistant David Culley to coach the Ravens’ wideouts.
The Eagles will need permission to interview Ward, who is under contract with the Jets and Engram, who is currently under contract with the Ravens.
The Birds will be hiring their fifth wide receivers coach in as many years.
