Panthers Remain Interested in Broncos DC Ejiro Evero
In this story:
Ejiro Evero interviewed for the Carolina Panthers head coaching job, but didn't make it to the second round of interviews and the team ultimately hired Frank Reich.
However, the team remains interested in him and has submitted a request to Denver to speak with him about the defensive coordinator position, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.
Evero has met with new Broncos head coach Sean Payton, but it appears they will be looking to go in a different direction as they are "lining up interviews" with DC candidates, per Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated. Minnesota has also submitted a request to talk with Evero but has not been granted permission to do so (yet).
In 2022, the Broncos' defense finished 12th in pass defense (210.2 ypg), 10th in rush defense (109.8 ypg), 7th in total defense (320 ypg), and 14th in scoring defense (21.1 ppg).
Evero's history in the league:
2007-09: Defensive Quality Control coach (Buccaneers)
2011: Quality Control coach (49ers)
2012-13: Offensive Assistant (49ers)
2014-15: Defensive Assistant (49ers)
2016: Defensive Quality Control coach (Packers)
2017-20: Safeties coach (Rams)
2021: Secondary coach & Passing Game Coordinator (Rams)
