Former Wisconsin football coach Jim Leonhard is making his return to the NFL, landing a role with a team he knows well – the Denver Broncos, where he previously played during the 2012 NFL season.
NFL insider Dan Graziano first reported the news. Several outlets have since confirmed. Leonhard is expected to serve as the secondary coach for the Broncos, a position that will also include responsibilities as the defensive pass game coordinator.
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.
