Broncos offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi reunited with head coach Sean Payton in Denver, hoping to get quarterback Russell Wilson, the team’s $245 million investment, back on track after a dreadful 2022 season.
Although there’s still a ways to go, Lombardi was pleased with Wilson’s development during the team’s offseason program.
“I don’t know what’s going to happen, but we’re really happy with where he’s at,” Lombardi said.
While working with Wilson, Lombardi, who worked under Payton in New Orleans as an offensive assistant and quarterbacks coach, noticed there was some muscle memory to overcome.
“(Wilson is) used to doing things a certain way, and we’re presenting a new way of doing things,” said Lombardi, who spent the last two seasons as the Los Angeles Chargers’ offensive coordinator.
