Report: Broncos Hire Giants Backup Davis Webb as QB Coach to Work with Russell Wilson

Veteran NFL quarterback Davis Webb has been hired as the Denver Broncos' new quarterbacks coach, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. He most recently played for the New York Giants last season behind Daniel Jones.

Webb, 28, spent most of his time in the league as backup after the Giants selected him in the third round of the 2017 NFL draft. He also spent time with Jets and Bills before returning to the Giants last season.

He will now look to help to turn around Russell Wilson and a Denver offense that struggled mightily in Wilson's first season with the organization.

In his lone career start this season with New York, Webb threw for 168 yards and a touchdown in a loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in the final game of the regular season.

Webb is the latest hire for Sean Payton's inaugural staff, along with Vance Joseph as the team's defensive coordinator and Joe Lombardi as an offensive coach.

He was offered the chance to be the quarterbacks coach in Buffalo last offseason, according to Schefter, but he turned down the opportunity to return to the Giants. Schefter reported in January that Webb would "consider making the jump to coaching for the right opportunity."

Now, he'll have the opportunity to work with a Super Bowl champion and All-Pro in Wilson.

Wilson, 34, is coming off perhaps the worst season of his career. He threw for only 3,524 yards and a career-low 16 touchdowns along with 11 interceptions.

Denver finished last in the league with only 16.9 points per game, edging out the lowly Indianapolis Colts and Houston Texans at 17.0.
