Sean Payton hit leadoff at the NFL Scouting Combine.
The new Broncos head coach strolled to a podium 10 minutes before his scheduled news conference and talked about his staff , his football team and his quarterback, among several other topics. General manager George Paton followed and noted, among other things, that the team is hopeful running back Javonte Williams will be ready by the season opener and that the franchise is hoping to come to contract agreements with free agents-to-be Dre’Mont Jones and Alex Singleton.
“We felt like we were going to be real patient with that hire and try to dig as much as we could relative to the fit and finding the right guy,” Payton said. He acknowledged that he tried to convince Vic Fangio to come along with him and that he’s planning on having another conversation with former Detroit head coach and New England assistant Matt Patricia about a potential role on the 2023 staff. Though he said it was “a little early” to know if a spot would materialize for Patricia.
Overall, Payton said they have a couple of roles left to fill on defense and are down to just a quality control hire on offense.: Payton said he gets “energized” working with younger coaches, so perhaps its no surprise he’s got several young guys and first-time NFL assistant coaches on offense, including quarterbacks coach Davis Webb, offensive line coach Zach Strief, tight ends coach Declan Doyle, receivers coach Keary Colbert and running backs coach Lou Ayeni.
