The Las Vegas Raiders have an experienced coaching staff around Coach Antonio Pierce. Tight Ends Coach Luke Steckel takes full advantage to learn from the coaches around him.
After being named the Las Vegas Raiders head coach earlier this offseason, Coach Antonio Pierce filled out his coaching staff with coaches who have many years of experience under their belts. One of those coaches was Tight Ends Coach Luke Steckel, who joined the Raiders earlier this offseason after spending time with new Raiders Offensive Coordinator Luke Getsy with the Chicago Bears last season.
After spending time working with the Bears’ offensive line last season, Steckel says he’s excited for the opportunity to work in Las Vegas. He will take the lessons he’s learned over the last few seasons to help him in his new endeavor. Steckel credits Bears Offensive Line Coach Chris Morgan with helping make him a better coach.
“I was very fortunate to learn under him for a year, and I hopefully can take what I learned last year and apply that to some of the stuff we do as tight ends in the run game, knowing how we help out in protection and where the o-line might have issues or where they need our help. It's really widened my perspective and given me a better appreciation for how everyone's tied together.”
