Denver Broncos welcomed Sean Payton as the 20th head coach in franchise history on February 3, 2023.
The decision came on the heels of the team’s dismissal of former head coach Nathaniel Hackett at the close of the previous season.
With an illustrious career spanning across an impressive 34 years, Payton brings with him a wealth of NFL experience.
As the Broncos gear up for the upcoming season, all eyes are on Payton, who will make his regular-season coaching debut with the team on Sept. 10.
