Longtime Browns Tight End Joining Dan Campbell's Staff With the Lions

A former Cleveland Browns tight end is on the moving as a coach. Steve Heiden is going to be the next tight ends coach with the Detroit Lions, according to ESPN. Heiden spent eight seasons with the Browns in the 2000s from 2002-09.

Heiden makes the move to Detroit from the Arizona Cardinals where he spent 10 seasons. Since 2019, Heiden has been the tight ends coach for the Cardinals. Now, he's set to join a nice staff that Dan Campbell has put together with the Lions.

With the Browns, Heiden totaled 1,602 yards. His best year came in 2005 when he had 401 receiving yards. Heiden was a third-round draft pick in the 1999 NFL Draft by the San Diego Chargers.
