For the 2022 NFL season, the Denver Broncos brought Nathaniel Hackett for his first job as head coach. He didn’t have a great time at Colorado despite having Russell Wilson as quarterback, but there’s an AFC East team that believes he could perform better for them as offensive coordinator.

The Broncos tried their best to build a top squad for the 2022 campaign by bringing Russell Wilson from Seattle. They couldn’t live up to the expectations and ended at the bottom of AFC West.

But Wilson was not the only addition they had last year. They hired Nathaniel Hackett to be their head coach, but he was unable to succeed and couldn’t make the quarterback work despite having a solid offensive team.

But this move could also lead to a ripple effect for other positions.

Before the Broncos, Nathaniel Hackett was offensive coordinator for… the Green Bay Packers. The rumors say the Jets could trade for Aaron Rodgers and this couple proved in the NFC North to work pretty well together.

With Rodgers as quarterback and Hackett as OC, the Packers finished in the top 10 in total yards per game in 2020 and 2021, which of course is something the Jets would want for 2023.
