Jim Leonhard expected to join Denver Broncos coaching staff

Over the past few years, former Wisconsin defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard has been one of the hottest commodities on the coaching market. And that’s in both the NFL and college coaching ranks. Just a few minutes before the Super Bowl was about to kick off on Sunday, ESPN’s Dan Graziano reported that Leonard is headed to the NFL to coach for the Denver Broncos, where he’ll coach their secondary.

He spent last season working as a senior football analyst for the Illinois Fighting Illini.
