He is passionate about the work. I always heard that he was coaching while he was playing. You feel his preparation, his mentality and his know-how of playing the position.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Broncos declined The Post\u2019s request to interview Webb about his Giants days and meshing together what he has learned from Daboll and his current boss, Sean Payton. Webb called plays for the Broncos in a preseason game as a reward from Payton.<\/p>\n<p>Daboll started Webb in the 2022 finale \u2014 after the Giants had already clinched a playoff berth \u2014 and he threw a touchdown pass to Kenny Golladay (his only score in two seasons) and ran for another against the Eagles.<\/p>\n<p><img style=\"aspect-ratio:1.57781202;display:block\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-modal-image=\"37393628\" width=\"931\" height=\"590\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/denver-broncos-quarterbacks-coach-davis-108788510_10c7b6.jpg\" alt=\"Denver Broncos quarterbacks coach Davis Webb directs quarterback Bo Nix during practice.\" class=\"wp-image-37393628\"  \/>Denver Broncos quarterbacks coach Davis Webb, left, directs quarterback Bo Nix during Back Together Weekend at an NFL football training practice Saturday, July 26, 2025.
