The Chicago Bears hired Jay Rodgers as defensive line coach, a position he held under new head coach John Fox while in Denver.
Rodgers spent the last six seasons as an assistant with the Broncos, including the last three as defensive line coach when Fox was head coach in Denver.
In 2014, the Broncos’ defense ranked second against the run (79.8 yards).
Rodgers served as a coaching assistant (2009-10) and defensive quality control coach (2011) with the Broncos before being promoted to defensive line coach.
Rodgers is the older brother of new Bears special teams coordinator Jeff Rodgers.
