The Denver Broncos are not favorites to win anything important in 2022, they are still underdogs but with Russell Wilson and their new head coah Nathaniel Hackett things could change and take a 360º turn.
Russell Wilson knows what it’s like to win a Super Bowl as he won one playing quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks in 2013. But that was almost 10 years ago and the last time Wilson returned to a Super Bowl the Seahawks lost to the Patriots in 2014.
Nathaniel Hackett does not have the same experience as his starting quarterback, he has never won a Super Bowl although he has a long experience as an offensive coordinator for multiple NFL teams.
How old is Nathaniel Hackett?
Hackett is one of the few head coaches under 45 years old, he was born on December 19, 1979 in a city north of Orange County called Fullerton, in the state of California. Nathaniel Hackett is 42 years old, but he will be 43 on December 19, 2022.
Nathaniel Hackett’s wife and family
Nathaniel’s wife name is Megan, there is not much background information about her, but what we do know is that they have four children. The new Broncos head coach is the son of another coach named Paul Hackett who was active as a coach for more than 17 seasons from 1969 to 2010.
