Following a three-year stint at the University of Pittsburgh as the defensive backs coach, Hill went back to the pro game, serving as an assistant defensive backs coach with the Miami Dolphins in 2018. During the season, the Dolphins ranked second in the NFL in interceptions. He also coached Pro Bowl cornerback Xavien Howard, who tied the NFL lead in interceptions with seven last year.

The Broncos also named Wade Harman as the tight ends coach. He spent the last five seasons with the Atlanta Falcons, working with Pro Bowl tight end Wade Harman Austin Hooper. Hooper ranked eighth in the league in receptions with 139 and is tied for 10th in touchdowns with 10 by a tight end during the last three seasons.

Harman will work with offensive coordinator Rich Scangarello. The two worked together in Atlanta when Scangarello was the offensive quality control coach in 2015.
