The Broncos finalized a pair of high-profile assistant coach hires Wednesday when they announced the additions of Jim Leonhard and Pete Carmichael, Jr. to Sean Payton’s staff.
Leonhard will serve not only as Denver’s defensive backs coach but also as the team’s defensive passing game coordinator under defensive coordinator Vance Joseph.
Carmichael is re-joining Payton as a senior offensive assistant after he spent 2009-21 as his offensive coordinator in New Orleans and 18 years overall with the Saints organization.
Now the lone remaining coaching staff position open for Denver is the defensive line coach after Marcus Dixon left last week for the same position at Minnesota.
