"Rather than hire hometown hero Jim Leonhard as their defensive coordinator, the Green Bay Packers have hired former Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon, which certainly bodes well for the Giants. Leonhard, who played for the University of Wisconsin and later served as the school's defensive coordinator, is on the cusp of a promotion within the NFL, given his work as the Denver Broncos' passing game coordinator."
"While the Broncos allowed the third-fewest points and second-fewest overall yards during the 2025 regular season, their defense ranked seventh in the NFL with 3,182 passing yards allowed. They picked off Josh Allen twice in a thrilling 33-30 victory in the AFC Divisional round over the Buffalo Bills. The Giants would have to wait until the Broncos' season ends, which could come as early as Sunday evening in the AFC Championship Game against the New England Patriots."
Jonathan Gannon was hired by the Green Bay Packers as defensive coordinator instead of Jim Leonhard. Leonhard played at the University of Wisconsin and later served as the school's defensive coordinator before becoming the Denver Broncos' passing game coordinator. The Broncos allowed the third-fewest points and second-fewest overall yards in the 2025 regular season while ranking seventh in the NFL with 3,182 passing yards allowed. Denver intercepted Josh Allen twice in a 33-30 AFC Divisional win over the Buffalo Bills. The Giants must wait until the Broncos' season ends before advancing related hiring, potentially only after the Super Bowl. John Harbaugh has begun assembling his Giants staff and has hired Dennis Johnson as defensive-line coach, with Dennard Wilson, Anthony Weaver, and Robert Prince linked to coordinator roles.
