Rising Star Davis Webb Draws Head Coaching Attention
Davis Webb, the Denver Broncos' quarterbacks coach, has quickly become one of the most intriguing names in NFL coaching circles. At just 29 years old, Webb is already garnering head-coaching interest, with the New Orleans Saints reportedly requesting an interview with him for their top vacancy. While his connections to Broncos head coach Sean Payton, a former Saints legend, likely played a role in getting Webb on the radar, his work with rookie quarterback Bo Nix has truly set him apart.

Webb’s influence on Nix has been transformative. After a shaky start to the season, where Nix threw four interceptions in the first two games, he rebounded spectacularly. Under Webb’s guidance, Nix accounted for 34 total touchdowns—one of the highest marks for a rookie in NFL history—and led the Broncos to their first playoff appearance in eight years. Webb’s calm and constructive coaching style allowed Nix to flourish, showcasing his potential and solidifying his place among the league’s top rookie quarterbacks.
Webb’s coaching rise is meteoric but not entirely surprising. After retiring as a player following the 2022 season, he immediately joined the Broncos’ coaching staff under Payton. His player experience, though limited to a single NFL start, provided him with a unique perspective and a deep understanding of the quarterback position. Last year, his talents were recognized when he was named the offensive coordinator for the West team in the East-West Shrine Bowl, a platform designed to elevate emerging coaching talent.
As the coaching carousel spins, Webb’s name will likely appear in connection with multiple opportunities. Beyond the Saints, the Giants, his former team, are rumored to consider him for a coordinator position. With his ability to develop quarterbacks and bring out the best in players, Webb is poised to become a key figure in NFL coaching for years to come.
