The Pittsburgh Steelers have hired a new assistant defensive backs coach, replacing Gerald Alexander who left for the Las Vegas Raiders, the team announced.

Midget comes to the Steelers with nine years of NFL experience under his belt, spending the last three seasons with the Tennessee Titans. Prior to Tennessee, he was with the Houston Texans as their assistant defensive backs coach from 2014 to 2017 and then their defensive backs from 2018 and 2019.

He also spent time at the college level, working with Virginia Tech (2007), Georgia State (2008-2011) and Penn State (2013).

We have named Anthony Midget as our assistant secondary coach.

Midget will begin working with defensive backs coach Grady Brown, looking to bolster a secondary with new pieces. After adding DeShon Elliott through free agency and Donte Jackson through a trade with the Carolina Panthers, Pittsburgh's starting defensive backfield will look different in 2024.
