Mike Westhoff Resigns as Broncos Assistant Coach

Mike Westhoff, the Denver Broncos' assistant head coach and former special teams coach, has resigned to address a potential health issue related to vision problems. The 76-year-old underwent testing, including an MRI, and decided to prioritize his health after consultations with medical professionals and Broncos head coach Sean Payton. Westhoff, who previously coached with Payton at the New Orleans Saints, expressed gratitude for the opportunity to contribute to the Broncos and noted the team's positive direction. Following his departure, special teams responsibilities will be overseen by coordinator Ben Kotwica. Westhoff's long coaching career spans over four decades, making him one of the most respected special teams coaches in NFL history. Fans and colleagues have expressed their support and well-wishes for his recovery.
