The Denver Broncos were a terrible football team in 2022, but it wasn’t due to their defensive acumen. In fact, the Broncos fielded a pretty terrific defense this past season, in no small part because of defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero.
Evero, 42, has worked his way up through the ranks and landed his first defensive coordinator gig in the NFL after spending 2021 as the passing game coordinator and secondary coach for the Rams in their Super Bowl-winning season. With Nathaniel Hackett fired, there’s no guarantee Evero is headed back to Denver, and several teams seem interested in him for their own defensive coordinator and head coaching vacancies.
