Lions hire Steve Heiden as the new TE coach

The Lions have brought in a new offensive assistant coach. Steve Heiden has been hired as Detroit’s tight ends coach.

Heiden held the same role for the Arizona Cardinals for the last four seasons. The 45-year-old Heiden has been with the Cardinals coaching staff since 2013. Like head coach Dan Campbell, Heiden is a former NFL tight end best known for his eight seasons with the Cleveland Browns.
