Darryl Drake, the wide receivers coach for the Pittsburgh Steelers, died Sunday morning, the team announced. He was 62.

“We are at a loss for words following Darryl Drake’s passing this morning,” Steelers president Art Rooney II said in a statement. “Darryl had such an impact on the players he coached and everyone he worked with throughout his entire career. He was a passionate coach and had a tremendous spirit toward life, his family, his faith and the game of football.

“Our prayers and thoughts are with his wife, Sheila, his three daughters, his grandchildren and entire family during this difficult time.”

The Steelers canceled their Sunday practice. The cause of death was not disclosed.

Drake was in his second season with the Steelers. A longtime NFL and college assistant, he was the Arizona Cardinals’ wide receivers coach for five years before joining Pittsburgh and held the same position with the Chicago Bears for nine seasons. His college stops included Western Kentucky, his alma mater, Georgia, Baylor and Texas.

“Darryl was a close friend and had a tremendous impact on my coaching career,” Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said in a statement. “He was an amazing husband, father and grandfather, and it is difficult to put into words the grief our entire team is going through right now.

“Darryl loved the game of football and every player he ever coached. We will use our faith to guide us and help his family throughout the difficult time.

“My heart and our prayers are with his wife, Sheila, and Darryl’s entire family.”
