The Denver Broncos announced the hiring of three assistant coaches Thursday, including new defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero.

The team also named Dwayne Stukes as special teams coach, completing the coordinator positions under new head coach Nathaniel Hackett. Denver also hired Marcus Dixon as defensive line coach.

All three assistant coaches were hired away from the Super Bowl-winning Los Angeles Rams.

The Broncos previously named Justin Outten as offensive coordinator.

Evero joins the Broncos with 17 years of coaching experience, including 14 seasons in the NFL. He has spent the past five seasons with the Rams, serving as secondary coach/pass game coordinator (2021) and safeties coach (2017-20).

Evero was also a quality control coach under Dom Capers in Green Bay. Capers joined the Broncos as a senior defensive assistant.

Stukes, who has 14 years of coaching experience with six NFL teams, joins the Broncos after one season as assistant special teams coach with the Rams.
