NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports the Ravens are believed to be interviewing Broncos defensive pass game coordinator/assistant HC Jim Leonhard for their DC opening on Friday.
Here’s an updated list of candidates for the Ravens’ DC job:
- Chiefs DL Coach Joe Cullen (Requested)
- Broncos defensive pass game coordinator/assistant HC Jim Leonhard (Scheduled)
Leonhard, 43, played 10 seasons in the NFL for the Bills, Ravens, Jets, Broncos, Saints, and Browns. He was hired as the defensive backs coach at Wisconsin for the 2016 season.
Wisconsin promoted Leonhard to defensive coordinator the following year, and he remained in the role until the 2022 season, when he took over as the interim head coach.
Leonhard finished with a record of 5-3 as the interim coach at Wisconsin in 2022. He joined the Illinois coaching staff for the 2023 season, then caught on with the Broncos in 2024 as the secondary coach.
In 2025, the Broncos promoted Leonhard to assistant head coach and defensive pass game coordinator.
We will have more on Leonhard as it becomes available.
