Broncos preview 2018: Assistant coach Tom McMahon brings new fire to special teams

One of the most important additions to the 2018 Broncos goes by the nickname “Midge.” Quick, find it in the dictionary. Midge: A small two-winged fly, or informally, a small person.

Hardly a daunting moniker for an NFL assistant coach.

That’s until you meet Tom McMahon.

Denver’s first-year special team’s coach, while not an insect, can admit to being vertically challenged. It’s why McMahon’s former Colts’ players gave him the nickname. But what the sub-6-foot longtime NFL assistant lacks in height, he makes up for in knowledge and fire. Listen to the voices of coaches at Broncos’ practice.
