According to NFL reporter Jordan Schultz, the team plans to expand Canada’s responsibilities and is giving him a larger role in working with second-year quarterback Kenny Pickett.
According to Schultz, this will be in addition to Canada’s playcalling duties. Let that one sink in for a minute. The guy in charge of the worst offense in the NFL right now is going to be given more responsibilities including a more close working relationship with the team’s struggling franchise quarterback.
