Sean Payton coached Jameis Winston for two of the four seasons the 30-year-old signal caller was in New Orleans.

Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton spent two years with Cleveland Browns quarterback Jameis Winston when they were both with the New Orleans Saints. Payton speaks glowingly of his time with the charismatic Winston.

Last year, the Denver Broncos went into the season with Justin Simmons and Kareem Jackson as their starting safeties. Caden Sterns was listed as a co-starter with Jackson, but he suffered a torn patellar tendon in Week 1. That injury left P.J. Locke, Delarrin Turner-Yell and JL Skinner as the team’s backup safeties in 2023.
