Two former Pittsburgh Steelers players are joining the coaching staff for the 2019 season as interns.

Former cornerback William Gay and tight end David Johnson were added Tuesday.

Gay, 34, spent 10 of his 12 NFL seasons with the Steelers, playing for the team from 2007-11 and from 2003-17. He spent his final season with the New York Giants before retiring.

Johnson also had two stints with the Steelers, who drafted him in the seventh round in 2009. He spent his first five seasons with the Steelers, then was with the San Diego Chargers for two years before wrapping up his career with the Steelers in 2016.

Gay and Johnson have been around the team during organized team activities, which conclude this week.
