Joey Porter, who was once a linebacker for the Pittsburg Steelers from 1999 to 2006 is now rejoining the organization as a coach. Per ESPN.com...
Porter officially retired as a Steeler in July 2012 after signing a one-day contract with the team.
quote:Porter was an assistant coach at Colorado State last season, and also completed his degree in sociology while he was there.
The Steelers have hired Porter as a defensive assistant, returning him to the city where he earned three Pro Bowl selections as an outside linebacker as well as a Super Bowl ring.
"We are excited about having Joey back with the Steelers family," coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday in a statement. "Joey spent a number of years with Pittsburgh as a player, and now he's back to assist the coaching staff. We look forward to his efforts and contributions."
