The Broncos have hired three assistants from the Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams’ coaching staff, including secondary coach Ejiro Evero, who will serve as Denver’s defensive coordinator.
New head coach Nathaniel Hackett also announced the additions of Dwayne Stukes as his special teams coordinator and Marcus Dixon as defensive line coach on Thursday.
Evero, whose full name is pronounced e-JEE-row EV-uh-row, joins the Broncos after five years in Los Angeles and 14 seasons in the NFL. Evero coached LA’s safeties from 2017-20 and served as secondary coach and passing game coordinator last season.
Evero replaces Ed Donatell, who was among the members of former coach Vic Fangio’s staff who weren’t retained by Hackett. Donatell has joined the Minnesota Vikings as their defensive coordinator.
The #Broncos named Ejiro Evero as their defensive coordinator, as he makes the expected move from the #Rams. Dwayne Stukes is their special teams coach.
