Pittsburgh Steelers president Art Rooney II released a statement following the surprising death of Steelers wide receivers coach Darryl Drake. The team canceled practice on Sunday as well as Monday after the announcement.
Here is Rooney’s full statement.
We are at a loss for words following Darryl Drake’s passing this morning. Darryl had such an impact on the players he coached and everyone he worked with throughout his entire career. He was a passionate coach and had a tremendous spirit toward life, his family, his faith and the game of football.
Our prayers and thoughts are with his wife, Sheila, his three daughters, his grandchildren and entire family during this difficult time.
