of the NFL, a position he assumed in February 2013 to January 2016.

Playing career

As a football player, Heller, a graduate of Penn State was chosen by the

offensive tackle. He was traded to the Seattle Seahawks who in turn traded him to the Philadelphia Eagles

for a fourth round draft pick.

The 6-foot-6, 290-pound Heller started all but one game for the Eagles at

right tackle in 1988. Overall, he played in 75 regular season contests for Philadelphia, at both right and left tackle. After missing one game in his first season with the team, he didn't miss another until he was sidelined for four games in 1992 due to a foot injury. Following the 1992 season, Heller signed with the Miami Dolphins

and played three seasons with them before a knee injury forced him to retire.

Coaching career

Heller gained his first NFL coaching experience in 2004 as a season-long intern coach with the

offensive line coach in 2006 under head coach Bart Andrus, and was promoted to offensive coordinator in 2007.^[1]

Heller rejoined Andrus on the staff of the Toronto Argonauts, January 23, 2009, when he was hired as the team's offensive line coach.^[2]

In February 2010, Heller was hired by the Jacksonville Jaguars as an offensive staff assistant.^[3]
