Report: Colorado DC Robert Livingston leaving for Broncos assistant post

The Denver Broncos have added staff without leaving the state, hiring Colorado Buffaloes defensive coordinator Robert Livingston to be defensive passing game coordinator and primary defensive backs coach, ESPN reported on Wednesday.

Livingston, 40, replaces Jim Leonhard, who left Denver earlier this month to be the Buffalo Bills' defensive coordinator.

It's a return to the NFL after two years with the Buffaloes for Livingston, who spent nine seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals (2015-23), eight as secondary coach.
