Las Vegas Raiders tight end coach Luke Steckel discussed the Silver and Black tight ends from NFL OTAs, and we have it all for you.
HENDERSON, Nev.—The Las Vegas Raiders are riding a wave of optimism under Antonio Pierce's leadership, and as they barrel towards training camp, OTA season is well underway.
Q: You were an assistant o-line coach with the Bears last year. I know you had coached tight ends before, but what kind of went into that transition and how does that kind of help you now? Coach Steckel: “I've been real fortunate in my career to work in every position room on offense. The offensive line was kind of the last one to check off on the list and got an opportunity to work in that room last year and it really is a different world. It's a different perspective.
Q: For you personally, coaching is obviously in your blood. Is it something you always wanted to do? I know you’ve dabbled in some other things after college, but is coaching something that was always drawing you? Coach Steckel: “Yeah ,the short answer is I don't know any better.
Q: The role of tight ends obviously has evolved a lot over the years and especially with a guy like him who can play so many places. How does it change your job when you’re coaching a guy that can do so many different things? Coach Steckel: “It goes back to that versatility I was talking about. A lot of tight end rooms, you might not be spending time on certain routes in the pass game because you might not have guys with the skill set to go execute certain routes in our route tree.
