Jahri Evans Set for New Chapter on Steelers Coaching Staff

Jahri Evans is closing one chapter and opening another, as the longtime New Orleans Saints standout prepares to continue his coaching career with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The former All-Pro guard, whose roots as both a player and coach are firmly planted in New Orleans, is set to join Pittsburgh’s staff as an assistant offensive line coach.

After wrapping up a decorated playing career, Evans returned to the Saints in 2022 as a coaching intern, easing into the profession. 

Over the past three seasons, his role steadily expanded, highlighted by a promotion in 2025 when he worked under offensive coordinator Kellen Moore. 

Evans now becomes the first member of Moore’s initial Saints staff to take a job elsewhere this offseason.
