Davis Webb wanted Broncos QB coach job “really, really bad.” Why? Sean Payton and, yes, Russell Wilson

Davis Webb’s offseason was headed one of two ways.

Either Sean Payton would hire him as Denver’s quarterbacks coach or he was going to try to play quarterback again in 2023.

Not exactly a traditional fork in the road, mind you, but Webb hoped to make the jump into coaching.

“When I interviewed, I told myself, my girlfriend, my family, ‘If I don’t get this job, I’m going to start working out tomorrow,’” he said Wednesday in his first time talking with reporters since landing the job earlier this year. “This was a one-and-done deal. I wanted this job really, really bad and if I got it I was going to roll with it and if I didn’t, I was going to keep playing and be a free agent.
