Former Denver Broncos quarterback Austin Davis has been working for the Seattle Seahawks since last February and he received a promotion this month. Davis, who served as an offensive assistant in 2019, will now be the team’s new quarterbacks coach, according to Andy Patton of Seahawks Wire.
Davis, 30, is just six months younger than Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson. He is now the youngest quarterbacks coach in the NFL.
After entering the league as an undrafted free agent out of Southern Mississippi in 2012, Davis spent time with three different teams before landing with the Broncos in 2016. He served as an emergency backup QB in Denver and did not get on the field for any regular season games.
The Broncos cut Davis near the end of the 2016 season and he signed with Seattle the following summer. He served as Wilson’s backup in 2017. Davis spent part of the 2018 season on the Tennessee Titans’ roster before retiring.
In 10 career starts, Davis completed 62.4 percent of his passes for 2,548 yards with 13 touchdown passes against 12 interceptions.
