Former Wisconsin Badgers football coach Jim Leonhard has found his new home in the NFL.
According to a report by ESPN’s Dan Graziano, the UW legend will join Sean Payton and the Denver Broncos to coach the secondary.
A little pregame non-Super Bowl news: Sources tell me and @JFowlerESPN that Jim Leonhard is expected to join the Denver Broncos’ staff to coach the secondary. Leonhard is a former NFL DB who’s well regarded in coaching circles and has been talking to several NFL and college teams

It was reported last week that Leonhard was still on Bret Bielema’s coaching staff, but he expressed interest in stepping up to the NFL.
