Banjo has spent each of the past two seasons working in Denver under head coach Sean Payton. In that time, Denver’s special teams units have ranked near the top of the league in several key categories to include punt return average (1st), punt return average against (2nd) and kickoff return average (8th)

While Boyer had managed to survive multiple coaching changes, he moved on to San Francisco just a few days ago.
