How Brian Griese will help Trey Lance

The development of Lance will largely fall on the shoulders of new quarterbacks coach Brian Griese.

When the hiring of Griese was first reported, it came as a bit of a surprise. After all, he had never held a coaching role at any level.

After retiring, Griese moved into the broadcast booth, working with ESPN since 2009, moving into the Monday Night Football booth in 2020. During his time working on Monday Night Football, Griese met weekly with various coaching staff from around the NFL, so he’s been around the game. In addition to his time at ESPN, Griese was the color commentator for Denver Broncos radio broadcasts from 2010 to 2011.
