Former Ohio State star wide receiver hired by in-state college
Former Ohio State star wide receiver hired by in-state college Former Ohio State and Pittsburgh Steelers star wide receiver Santonio Holmes is getting into the college coaching ranks. According to a social media post by an in-state HCBU school, Central State, Holmes is joining the coaching staff as the wide receivers coach. It's quite the splashy hire for the Mauraders and something to keep an eye on as Holmes looks to move up the coaching ladder after jumping in for the first time. Even the casual football fan should know about the playing days of Holmes. He had quite the career for the Buckeyes, hauling in 140 passes for 2,295 yards and 25 touchdowns during his OSU career that spanned from 2003 through 2005. He was a First team All-Big Ten performer in 2005 and went on to be selected by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the first round of the 2006 NFL draft where he blossomed into a deep play threat. The pinnacle of Holmes' career is no doubt being awarded MVP for Super Bowl XLIII when he clinched the Steelers' sixth Super Bowl win with a six-yard catch from quarterback Ben Roethlisberger en route to a 27-23 win over the Arizona Cardinals. He finished the game with 131 yards receiving on nine catches, including the iconic touchdown catch. Holmes was traded to the Jets in 2010, and played in New York until 2014 when he signed a one-year deal with the Chicago Bears, but was ultimately released in season, ending his NFL playing career. Now, he'll give it a go on the sidelines and we have little doubt that he'll be successful.
