The Steelers named former Penn State wide receivers coach David Corley their new assistant quarterbacks coach on Tuesday.
Corley, 42, who had been the wide receivers coach at South Carolina State since 2020, was Penn State's wide receivers coach in 2018 before serving as a coaching intern with the Texans in 2019.
A four-year starter at quarterback at William & Mary -- the alma mater of Mike Tomlin -- Corley holds the record for passing yards (9,805), total yards (10,948) and touchdown passes (73) at the school. He is a member of William & Mary's Hall of Fame.
Corley played in the Canadian Football League with the Hamilton Tiger Cats (2003) and Calgary Stampeders (2006) and in the Arena Football League with the New York Dragons (2005).
He began his coaching career at the high school level in 2004, jumping to the college ranks in 2008 as running backs coach at William & Mary, where he also coached quarterbacks and wide receivers before leaving for Connecticut in 2014 to coach running backs. He also coached wide receivers and special teams at Connecticut, leaving in 2017 to become wide receivers coach at Army.
In 2018, he was hired as Penn State's running backs coach, but was moved to wide receivers two weeks later when the program hired Ja'Juan Seider. He was relieved of his duties at the end of that season and spent 2019 with the Texans before leaving for South Carolina State.
Corley also has done internships with the Panthers in 2013 and 2021. He will work under Steelers quarterbacks coach Mike Sullivan with quarterbacks Mitch Trubisky and Mason Rudolph.
The Steelers also are expected to add two additional quarterbacks to their roster before the start of the 2022 offseason program.
