🏈 Ex-Pittsburgh Steelers offensive lineman Derwin Gray revealed that he didn’t learn much from former offensive line coach Shaun Sarrett during his time in Pittsburgh.
“I really appreciated me being with an older line such as Maurkice Pouncey,” Gray said during an interview with Strive Sports Productions. “Shoutout to Ramon Foster. I still look at Ramon Foster as one of my mentors. David DeCastro, Alejandro Villanueva, Matt Feiler. We had B.J. Finney, he was a backup. We had J.C. Hassenaur. We had guys that were there before me that did a really good job of training me to understand the maturity.
“No disrespect to Shaun Sarrett in Pittsburgh but I feel like I didn’t learn as much from him. He was an o-line coach but I feel like I really didn’t get the coaching I deserved and needed to learn. I really leanred it from my counterparts. My guys like Pouncey and Ramon Foster. Those guys really helped me come along.”
