Former Steelers WR Jerricho Cotchery a candidate for WR coach vacancy

The Steelers continue the search for a new wide receivers coach.

According to Pittsburgh Steelers beat writer Gerry Dulac, the search for a wide receivers coach is still ongoing and includes at least one former player on the interview list. Dulac is reporting that Jerricho Cotchery is being interviewed to replace Darryl Drake.

Cotchery spent three seasons with the Steelers and was a key reserve. In 2013, Cotchery became a solid safety net for Ben Roethlisberger as he hauled in 46 receptions.

Over the course of his 12-year NFL career, Cotchery caught 524 passes between three teams, the bulk of which came with the Carolina Panthers. The Steelers are looking to replace Drake after the passed away suddenly just before the start of the 2019 season.
