Jim Leonhard
Jim Leonhard has landed his first coaching job in the NFL.
Leonhard is expected to join the Denver Broncos’ coaching staff to coach their secondary, according to ESPN’s Dan Graziano.
Leonhard, 41, was a three-time All-American as a collegiate athlete, playing safety at Wisconsin. His subsequent NFL career lasted from 2005-2014. He had 431 tackles and 14 interceptions over the course of his pro career.
Leonhard began his coaching career in 2016 at his alma mater. Leonhard ascended to the Badgers’ defensive coordinator in 2017 and even served as their interim head coach in 2022 before leaving after Luke Fickell was hired. Leonhard spent last season as an analyst for Illinois. Now it looks like he’ll be coaching in the NFL for the first time in his career on the sidelines.
