The Denver Broncos are expected to hire Florida’s Keary Colbert as wide receivers coach, sources tell On3.
Colbert, a former NFL wide receiver who spent time with Denver in 2008, worked at USC prior to Florida.
In recent years, Colbert has coached and developed players such as 2022 Atlanta Falcons top-10 pick Drake London, Indianapolis Colts wide receiver and former USC All-American Michael Pittman Jr. and Detroit Lions standout Amon-Ra St. Brown, among others.
Under Colbert last season, the Gators had three wide receivers with at least 410 receiving yards. That includes Arizona State transfer Ricky Pearsall, who led Florida with 661 receiving yards and five receiving touchdowns.
